I would have never imagined that the dead spirit of the universities would be reborn on social media. Free, honest intellectual discourse - where we are allowed to make mistakes and explore esoteric or uncharted ideas - is utterly absent from universities but proliferates online. In part, this is because we are not graded or critiqued by professors with ulterior motives. Rather, the spirit of discussion & discovery ebbs and flows with minimal disruption. Although shitposting & all sorts of nonsense is still king, you can find a niche of people who are actually trying to become better people intellectually, spiritually, and morally, those who are charting their own course, sailing their own seas.
