there is a moment between jumping from the frying pan into the fire that feels a lot like liberation

That is the teachable moment, actually. This is the true lesson.

during my dissertation proposal hearing one of my advisors said "I think you might have been too harsh in your criticism of this theory" and I genuinely, innocently asked "what makes you say that?" and he said "well on page 27 you used the phrase 'should be consigned wholesale to the dustbin of history'" and I was like oh. yeah I guess I did that. fair

I'm sure that making it near impossible to become a doctor in a country where every hospital and medical building is always severely understaffed with exhausted, over-worked, financially struggling workers & every ER in every city has a 6-18hr wait & it takes 6 months to one billion years to get into a specialist with a referral is a great idea that has no negative consequences whatsoever

I bet making sure that only the most financially well-off most able-bodied people can become doctors will absolutely create a class of doctors that have only the utmost respect, patience, understanding, and care for disabled patients, especially poor disabled patients

This is already happening – one of the softwares used by a museum I work at only lets you talk to a human help agent if you have their premium subscription. It's such bullshit
