    Hilarious, when the professor starts being sarcastic. The writer of this must have had some real experiences with those types of students. (I think I was a little bit of one myself way back.)

    A: A pizza can feed a family of four.

    Pretentious little shit. I loved how the brat, despite his claims of "intelligence", couldn't tell the professor was being sarcastic. XD

    Classic American undergraduate….watch current thing on UA-cam called “Campus Reform”….a whole generation who have “taken” a course or two,,probably taught by a 25 year old adjunct and armed with all the confidence THAT brings, approach every news question with an open mouth.

    I wonder if people that are 19-20 find humor in this, or even understand where it's coming from.

      Yes, I do. I am 19 and not in the humanities.

    These were the most insufferable philosophy students in my day, but they were definitely a minority then. I am not sure if there is a way to quantify them now, but they are certainly MUCH more salient than I remember.

    The only time people who do theory are much smarter than other people is when they're studying theoretical physics...

      I think you are confusing being smart with having a talent for abstract thinking.
