This idiot doesn't understand that ISI is the Indian Statistical Institute. Then again, I guess I'm the fool for expecting this idiot to get it.

Ah yes, the new phenomenon of frankensteinβs monster being misunderstood, which is definitely a modern innovation and not the entire fucking foundation of the character in the original novel
In the past few decades, monsters have gone from menaces to misfits. Why do we feel the need to humanize them? https://t.co/1Qcb9Q9PXV

to expand on this, I don't think inaccessibility isn't an issue or that academia grants you special epistemological powers. infact i agree with appadurai who posits research-the ability to create disciplined knowledge-as a fundamental right to ensure democratic citizenship (1/?)
everyone and their mother thinks they can do what scholars in humanities do, that there's nothing productive coming out of continued affiliation with academia, that these are just jargon infested ivory towers meant to be toppled
