Paroles
It's instructive to go to a professional professors' meeting In my field, which is philosophy, you got to a congress of philosophers And you'll find, when they all get together in the bar or in the restaurant, in somebody's room The one thing they don't talk about is philosophy It is very bad form indeed to show interest in philosophy among your colleagues The same is exactly true in clergy gatherings. They don't talk about religion What they both talk about is politics, church politics and academic politics 'Cause it's bad form to be brilliant on a faculty, because it outclasses your colleagues Thereforе, faculty people tend to cultivatе The studied mediocrity (Studied mediocrity) The studied mediocrity (Studied mediocrity) And you gotta watch out for that I mean, if you get mobs of students coming to your lectures You get pretty black looks from your colleagues But you see, what it is It's scholarship about scholarship, and not scholarship Just as learning because learning is good for you is irrelevant to learning The whole idea of improving yourself by learning is irrelevant to the learning process And in the same way, doing business Is doing business Doing business, such as manufacturing clothes, is a very good thing to do I could conceive that it would be extremely enjoyable Something one could be very proud of to make good clothes Course you need to sell them, 'cause you need to eat, but to make clothes to make money Raises another question Because then your interest is not in making clothes, it’s making money, and then you're gonna cheat on the clothes And then you get an awful lot of money and you don't know what to do with it
