'[A] problem that really needs to be worked on […], is that really good teachers are not thought of highly by the academic society. […] "publish or perish" has been a catastrophe. […] But for [people] to keep their jobs and get the proper promotion they've got to do it.' (Hannah Arendt, 13.07.1972)

A famous thinker recently said it "would be odd to oppose something without understanding it". By contrast, an evangelist says that the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not: and despite being Christian and not Zoroastrian, he clearly implies that darkness opposes light.

600 days of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine and Ukrainians are standing and fighting. According to recent polls, more than 80% of Ukrainians are against any territorial concessions as that would mean Russian terror and oppression. Please continue to #StandWithUkraine
