Hi Modulus It depends does it not on what interpretation one puts on "cheap"? I read it as a gloss for "obvious" or "not difficult" as in "Cheap shot". To me the option of kissing the ass of the bourgeoisie is always the cheap option as it guarantees commercial success. The 1% can afford the sycophants. In fact they are probably amused by how cheap as in not expensive the sychophants are. comradely Gary On Tue, May 8, 2018 at 3:44 PM, modulus via Marxism < marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu> wrote: > ******************** POSTING RULES & NOTES ******************** > #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. > #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. > #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. > ***************************************************************** > > Isn't this rather contradictory? > > > > Similarly, the same phenomenon probably emerges in some sector of >> academia, given that rigour and opacity are a cheap way of signalling >> expertise to institutions in order to justify large salaries. >> > > On one hand, there's the claim that rigour and technicity limit access > because it's very hard (expensive), and on the other hand that it's a cheap > way to signal.
