One thing I would say is that It can be really easy to be tempted toward some sort of absolute answer on a question like this. Some people will tell you, just keep your head down, get your degree, you're paying to be there, the most important thing is not to rock the boat, You need something from them in exchange for your money and your time. Go get it. That's the only reason you're there.

Other people will say, you should just be fighting all the way, defending your rights. Campuses are ground zero for all the worst things that are happening in our culture. Be an activist. But the truth is, you actually have to live your life. And none of the people giving you advice on this topic do. And only you know what you actually want to get out of this experience in college.

Only you know what kind of career you want to build in your life on the other side. of your time in college, some of them much more dependent on getting that degree than perhaps others are. I think the best thing you can do in this regard is live according to your lights. The one thing I'll say you should not do is live your life out of fear.

If you find yourself living your life out of fear, you actually can't make the cynical calculation of, I will live my life out of fear, but on the other side of it, I'll be very, very successful. That's a deal with the devil that you can just never walk back. But that doesn't mean that you always have to be in the fight. It doesn't mean that you have to be reckless in every situation.

I will say in my own life, I've made the choice from a young age, probably before I could make it consciously, that I was just going to say what I believed in every situation and come what may. And, you know, I'd like to say that it's worked out well for me. I've gone through a lot of real difficulties because of that decision. I don't necessarily think that that is the most virtuous decision.

I think it's the most Gen X decision, but I don't know that it's the most virtuous decision. Although it can contain virtue. Sometimes, though, it can contain hubris and recklessness and all sorts of other things.

So I think that rather than looking for an absolute answer to the question, the very best thing that you can do is actually know yourself, know what you're trying to accomplish, know what fights are worth your time to be in and go fight those fights. And if you're like me, it'll be all of them and you'll never get a college degree and you won't make any money until you're 30 and that's fine.
