Thank you, that offers some great insight. I studied at McGill and had the grades to go to graduate school probably anywhere in just about anything, but I didn't really like school all that much. Four years was just right, anymore would have made me very unhappy. I have always related more to pragmatists and empiricists rather than theoreticians or philosophers. I could see the snobbery in academic 'intellectual' circles, and it turned me off. It is obviously alive and well, and even thriving in the modern woke academy.
