There seems to be an intense debate on the suicide of Mr. Jason Arday, the black professor of Cambridge.
Just to say this loud, Mr. Arday was a tender and loving man. He was son to someone and friend to many. A good man, by all records and what I hear. It’s a tragedy when someone takes their lives so young, it shouldn’t happen.
It really calls to reflection on academia, what is going on.
First of all, I have been to Oxford a few times, and my experience is that, that was just amazing. The international level, the queecky atmosphere, the level of faith to the basis of the platonic ideas were amazing.
It’s on the same level as my own family school Vallekilde. Since Vallekilde was inspired by Oxford, this really warmed my heart.
I am a fan, let’s just make it that.
At the same time, I have witnessed a lot of political placement within media here in Denmark. So-called called philosophers, who weren’t really philosophers and so on. Many of them committed suicide, just as Mr. Arday.
It’s just the way it is, you HAVE to have the level of academic brilliance to be at either Oxford or Cambridge to be a professor. It requires excellence.
Hire me, put me in the same spot as Mr. Arday and I will make him proud.
G-d bless the academia and may it be as according to Plato, a place of light and truth.
