Cheer up. Your degree no matter what it is, is better than mine. Mine says MA, Berkeley, 1969. Like the kiss of death. Might as well be radioactive.

There is a kind of dangerousness in all this disconnection with any concept of the real, either from the political economy or its sociological foundations and its masses. I am not sure what to call this danger but it is definitely pathological. If the system is disconnected from any sense of the real, then it is un-protected from the multitude of problems and threats to its institutions and systems.
