  • he's a philosopher, you gotta give them some hope right?

  • Always the same: » I would choose the most beautiful, flamboyant girl etc. It looks like a lie or insult here. Why?

  • there is not teaching without narcissism. Period!

    Deal with it or stop studying

  • What is he supposed to do, entertain you between his explanation of concepts? It's a difficult subject and what you want is him to be perky, maybe get out of his chair and that gray musty sweater and dazzle the camera. If you want entertaining then I recommend giving a listen to the biggest bum political philosophy teacher on the plant: Rush Limbaugh. You'll like that won't you dope?

  • Everyone is nacissistic, or shall I put it there are degrees of narcissism. Fawning idiots---sure, there are many. But that disregards the intellectually curious and those hungry to learn. College is only one of many places to seek knowledge.

    In philosophy they call what you're pulling on me an ad hominem attack. Look it up you stupid bastard.

  • You seem very ready to pass judgement on me, though. Narcissistic professors like this only survive because there is a constant supply of fawning idiots to sit at his feet.

  • why on earth would you pass a judgment about this professor's personality?? The students have thoughts, sure---but the professor is the starting point, the students engage the professor at the appropriate time, not when you deem fit. He earned it, you jerkoff.

  • OK, so the students contribute, but the feeling is all wrong. It's all about him. He is an intellectual narcissist.

  • Too full of himself. All his assignments are his books. Everything is his developing opinion. What about the students? Don't they have any thoughts? Students don't want to sit at someone's feet hoping and praying that some wisdom will rub off on them. A very poor teaching environment.

  • yeah but he does so what
