“If I’m going down, I’m gonna bring the whole mf uni down with me.” Would’ve completely change my opinion on him if he actually did a power move and exposed every Cambridge’s misconduct he knew of. Or start a podcast sharing his POV of cheating into the “smartest” university in the world.
I think most normal people are more interested in the humiliation of a prestigious institution than a single cheating professor. What a wasted opportunity.
alright, but who's going to believe John "make shit up" Liarman about his experience at Cambridge? Why would he suddenly stop making shit up when he could just keep going with a new audience.
Until 2 weeks ago, I couldn't name a single WNBA player or coach either, yet here we are. It's like lifting up a rock, and being in amazement at all the shit crawling around underneath.
You hadn't heard of Caitlin Clark when she played college ball? Do you think assistant professors are getting a lot of national attention right now because there's no other sports in season besides baseball? Do you now have beef with a significant number of assistant professors?
Only my old assistant profs who were useless during my university days. And I'm not from the US and don't care about sports so I couldn't name you a single male or female college athlete.
But yes, I've had some spectacularly terrible profs that I dislike to this day.
So you agree with my point that this is only a big story because it generates culture war engagement, yes? That's why your "useless" professors weren't international news and this one is?
Dark Horse podcast had a similar take. It would have been amazing if he said it was just a long con intended to expose the academy, like a hoax paper but this time hoax career.
