You found out my secret, too. While I was jealous while chasing and joking the “100”, I am fortunate not to need make a living and being able to pursue ideas and testing them out that have led to larger workers. The community of passionate readers and writers is rare and hard to find, and for most everyone is thoughtfully engaging, adding their unique perspective and reaction. If I could perfect the 3 minute article on tech I might actually gain 90K followers and get that new Corvette. But alas, the subjects I pursue and my natural proclivity to honestly engage in the subject matter will not lead me to wealth. So I have “just” ended up learning to live with engaging in what I do, and in being with clear writers and thinkers who express a true interest in their ideas and exchanges — Like you Guy. I always enjoy your clear writing and crisp thoughts, which inspire me to see new perspectives and think how to clear up my own writing.
—-Ooops, I timed out again. LOL. Thanks for your continued engagement, and your students are very lucky to have a professor that brings real dialogue to the classroom and their lives. Often many students will remember your open classroom style of engagement only years later and be grateful. I had several inspiring professors who reached me in the future, long after I graduated, with this similar style as yours.
