Academia isn’t about wealth, or fame, or approval. It’s about downloading as many pdfs as you possibly can until you retire without reading any of them
I bought a new ipad so I will definitely maybe read them all now...
Fortunately now you can feed them all to AI, and after you retire, ask it to summarise them all to you!
And now you can use an app to read them aloud to you in the voice of your choosing 24/7.
Stretch goal: at least reading the abstract
If only there were an institutionally-embedded way of helping to process the guilt. Or a pop-up with the warning, “Before downloading, check your desktop for unread articles. Do you still wish to proceed?”
Goddamn, I just got burned so bad that I may have to retire early.
Does anybody out there actually read those PDFs? Not me!
I've evolved (devolved?) into bookmarking, my bookmarks in safari are mad, these long hideous scrolls of urls...
I feel seen....
