> Graduate students are also listening to postdocs, who in recent years have become increasingly vocal about the precarious nature of their positions and the challenges of getting by on a postdoc salary

This is exactly what saved me. I was an undergraduate research assistant and our postdoc warned me.

I think if there's money to be made, there's a business that will pop up to fill that niche.

Honestly can't stand the guy but I think of this soundbite constantly - he MUST have gotten it from someone else, right? lol

I used to believe that games were an art form - but I just can't get behind them being completely on par with books, etc.

The writing is often so terrible... I wish I could think of a single video game that touched me like The Brothers Karamazov or Les Miserables.

I think it might be income inequality that makes the good people in your home country suffer the most - but I don't want to assert this because I'm (probably) not from your home country and don't know it quite like you do.

I think I kind of understand the Truth that you're getting at - from a similar point of view, aren't artists usually particular about the medium that their art is presented in? because the medium can cause the work of art to have a different effect on the audience. [1]

In any case, it's certainly no substitute for the real thing (but I'm sure everyone kind of understands that).
