Olly Thorn, host of Philosophy Tube, reflects on how different the practice of philsophy is inside and outside academic institutions (and I feel him). "The philosophy was great, god knows I loved it (I remember staying up late doing philosophy with you, or sneaking off to a quiet bit of the library for a studying tryst), but it was all the other stuff getting in the way that just killed the spark for me... It felt less about educating people or figuring out the world and more like justifying the university qua the structure and hierarchy that it is."
