Academia vs. Adaptations


Academia vs. Adaptations: Supplemental Questions

Is empathy an adaptation that academia can refuse?
Is the body an adaptation that the mind can refuse?
Is inclusivity an adaptation that academia can disregard?
Is the body an adaptation that academia can disbelieve?
Does academia encompass all of our human senses?
Does academia include all of our human feelings?
Does academia control the circumstances from which its children are born?
Does academia baby the body?
Does academia infantilize the body?
Did academia infanticide its own body?
Does academia believe in other bodies?
What constitutes a good body of academic work?
Who is good academic work good for?
When does academia rest?
What does academia dream of?
What would academia look like with enough hours of beauty sleep?
Who invented “beauty sleep?”
Who invented “hours?”
Who invented the institutional format?
Who invented our current standards?
Did nature invent sleep?
Did nature invent the fluidity of, enough?
Was nature the first hypothesis?
Does nature experience psychosis?
Is nature the original institution?
Is nature the mother of all currency?
Is nature the theory that thought up itself?
Did nature invent the crossing over and the sandbank and the turning away?
Is academia just an adaptation of nature?
Are adaptations just the world reinventing itself?
Are adaptations just the words reinventing themselves?
Are adaptations just the words “reinvention” and “itself”?
Did nature invent the words and the stanzas where they sleep?
Did nature invent the publication and the closing of the day?
