Yeah, he's talking the same stuff I heard in 1990 at Hampshire College, 25 years ago, which to me *then* sounded old-fashioned talk, the era of the professors that were teaching. I didn't mind of course 'cause the school had no grades or anything and kissing a girl in an apple tree orchard who had just dropped LSD, leaving me tripping balls as I walked back to the computer lab, and trying to do IRC with the words blurring across the screen and my fingers melting into the green screen terminal was pretty awesome.
