"The ethos of this project is also one of deliberate epistemic and epistemological autonomy. A conscious repudiation of what might be called the ethos of “ars theoria,”—in which a student is figured as a container into whom a master deposits his knowledge—and a choice not to be shackled to the overworked theories of long-dead luminaries, not beholden to the reputations of any intellectual authorities or celebrity theoreticians. Although happy enough to take whatever material is useful from whatever sources are useful, we neither respect nor defer to any philosophical masters or “fathers of theory.”

An anarchist is no one’s disciple."

this is basically how I feel about academics
