I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

Haha, this is exactly right, again from Elizabeth McCracken: “If you’re not afraid of failing as a writer, it means you haven't risked enough. Or you might be a sociopath. There are some good writers who are sociopaths.”

Class … such an important topic. For anyone who has not read Caste: the Origin of Our Discontent by Isabel Wilkerson, I highly recommend it. The film version, Origin, was released in 2023.
