Academic you say? Well then. The answer is surely yes. What to do about it? Nietzsche on why not to address the bigger picture:
He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.
On the other hand (and my favourite Nietzsche quote):
The thought of suicide is a great consolation: by means of it one gets through many a dark night.
But in either case there's no escape.
Typical fucking academic and typical developer. MISSING THE BIGGER PICTURE. ("why does damo feel bleak? does anyone else feel bleak when looking at the world we live in?")
Now getting locked into a discussion about what it means to be cultured and xenophobic.
I'd go the pub but I'm not real.
