i mean...

the reason i live on disability and focus on art, rather than teach at a school or do research, is precisely because i didn't want to be an intellectual.

i believe in public education, and i think i have some obligation to help, but that stems from my politics; i spend a lot of time helping stupid people understand simple things, and i see it as a revolutionary act, but i don't spend any time at all arguing with people that have advanced degrees, and i don't want to do that, either.
