had a fascinating conversation this evening with my old advisor where i basically learned that everything is going to hell in a handbasket. i didn’t realize how screwed the academy is now that the tech industry has just flopped. he’s terrified and not quite sure what i should do, but he seems to think that $ is going to be highly problematic until there’s a switch of sources where the money comes from.

erg. this is going to be really difficult. bad time to be clueless.
