As now known from Crypto AG revelations spy
agencies track comprehensively but do not
disclose that information, no matter the horrors
observed, to protect means and methods of
deception. That callous mercilessness is not new,
the same concealment from the public has been an

That's a bunch of bollocks.
Universities ARE exploiting us through our sense of care and duty for our
students, whether we teach online or not.
Education IS meaningful in the face of what humanity faces, just as is helping
the kids next door with the groceries for
folks,
