some tips for good Academia jokes

When you rail against Academia, be sure you don’t frame it in the language of reason and academic thinking. People will notice this.

Ordinary folks will notice the irony of what you are doing, and call you an unbearable snob. Puppet-string-pullers in the art world will notice what you are doing, too, and may make your career very difficult.

Good jokes are the best way to “devil” the art-world Gods. But don’t expect to be able to produce good jokes from inside the back pocket of some corporate sponsor or academic institution. It’s too stuffy in there for good jokes.
