Two words
Two words for me, as it concerns my job, right now, and as it concerns all the bullshit and shitheadeness in the world masquerading as something more honest and decent:
Man up.
Life is bullshit, often. The trick is being able to tell the difference between bullshit and something more honest.
In the meantime, I gotta deal with the bullshit. And fuck every last asshole who brings it my way. Your comeuppance is on it's way. Bet on that. Hitler and Stalin thought they were going to rule the world and noone was going to challenge them, either.
And as my students are thoroughly aware, today, with some study: every motherfucker who says he will rule unchallenged goes down. Every single last one of them. Without exception.
Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman included.
Bank on it.
Be prepared to man up.
