I have absolutely no idea what you said here ^^^^ are you perchance a college professor?

Your claim that you "have absolutely no idea" seems honest. If true, that would amplify and reinforce my first statement. It seems no sin to be ignorant, but it can be quite wasteful to remain so when given the opportunity to learn. The middle of the post addresses such. An answer to the final questions may be difficult for one without benefit of learning and thought. Some posting here have revealed thought rather than epithets.

Yes, for some time I was a professor - but mainly in a performance field far distant from cultural studies. The Socratic approach has been my friend.
