But again, I would describe it as the anti-sacrificial move. The sacrificial move would be, you know, you have a tender position there and you might be unhappy about it, but you know, for the greater good, you have to stay there.

But I would also say that- And I think those were irrational things that you should not have sacrificed. I'm fully on board with that.

I think you made totally the right decision, but I would describe it as, the way I would describe it, and maybe this just shows how the language of sacrifice is confusing, but I would describe it as you refused to make the sacrifices that were demanded of you because they were silly, irrational, crazy. In relation to what?

See, that's the issue, because I think that's true, but— In relation to things that, again, maybe can't be fully rationally defined, but in relation to some of the alternatives you could do, in relation to, you know, maybe even something as stupid as what you found hedonically enjoyable, right?

Did you find it enjoyable sitting on silly faculty committees as a tenured professor, or did you find it boring? And it wasn't fun. The boredom wasn't fun. And it's not the only reason to leave. Maybe it's not a sufficient reason, but from my perspective, it's a good partial reason. And there were probably a lot of things like this that added up.

But again, I don't want to make this too aggrandizing to you, but I think what you're doing is far better, far more important now.

So if you had sacrificed your job and you were completely unemployable, and had no economic prospects, you could describe it as sacrificing your job so you could express yourself, but if nobody's listening to you, that might be a pretty irrational thing to do, again. And so it was, I think it was a, yeah, it's rational for you to,

focus on reaching a much larger audience for you to do all these things. And I think those were good decisions. You didn't let let's say the moralizing left-wing people in academia get to you, you didn't let their value system control you. Their value system is that, you know, there's nothing more important than academia. This is the world that really matters.
