Academia.edu is actually not that bad. It still kind of freaks me out with all the searches people make for me but I just noticed that my articles have been downloaded a lot. Like hundreds of times. And that’s not at all unpleasant.
And by the way, people who have searched for my book: the publication date is 2014, not 2015. If there are people who really want to read it and don’t mind reading off the screen, send me an email and I will share a Word file copy.
I am extraordinarily grateful for the interest in my scholarship.

Remember when you first set up your academia.edu profile, and you said these hundreds of people visiting your profile couldn’t possibly be there because they were interested in your work? Don’t you look silly now. 😛

I know, do feel kind of stupid. 🙂 But I should be commended for easily recognizing my mistakes.

Here is my acadmia.edu site. I am a pretty minor figure compared to Clarissa, but somebody might find something of interest here.

As Dr. House, who is hobbled and walks with a cane, said to his employees when he saw candy cane displayed during Christmas, “Are you mocking me?”

No, I am quite serious. There is no mocking involved at all. At this stage in my life I am quite sure I will never be getting tenure at a US university. I am actually happy to have gotten a document in four years that most people in the world manage to acquire in a single day. But, it is pretty indicative of the overall retarted progress my career and life have made over the last couple of decades.

Tenure in itself doesn’t have a profound meaning. I have seen such complete imbeciles get awarded tenure that I can’t uphold a mythical image of the institution in my mind.
