:29:20
I...
:29:26
I'm sorry
that I interrupted you.

:29:29
- That's all right.
- You were saying?

:29:31
I was saying...
:29:34
I was saying...
:29:35
how can you say
in a college class...

:29:38
that college education
is prejudiced?

:29:40
I said that
our predilection for it...

:29:42
- Predilection?
- You know what that means?

:29:45
- Does it mean liking?
- Yes.

:29:48
But how can you say
that college is...

:29:51
That's my job, don't you know?
:29:53
- What is?
- To provoke you.

:29:55
No.
:29:57
Oh, yes, though.
:29:59
- To provoke me?
- That's right.

:30:01
- To make me mad?
- That's right.

:30:03
- To force you...
- To make me mad is your job?

:30:06
To force you to...
:30:09
Listen...
:30:11
Sit down.
:30:15
When I was young,
somebody told me...

:30:18
Are you ready?
:30:19
The rich copulate
less often than the poor.

:30:22
But when they do...
:30:24
they take more of
their clothes off.

:30:26
Years!
:30:28
Years, mind you...
:30:30
I would compare experiences
of my own to this dictum...

:30:33
saying,
"Aha. This fits the norm."

:30:35
Or "This is
a variation from it."

:30:37
What did it mean? Nothing.
:30:41
It was just some jerk thing
some school kid told me...

:30:43
that took up room
inside my head.

:30:46
Somebody told you...
:30:47
and you hold it
as an article of faith...

:30:50
that higher education
is an unassailable good.

:30:54
This notion is so dear to you...
:30:55
that when I question it,
you become angry.

:30:57
Good, I say.
:30:59
Are not those the very things
which we should question?
