Not too shabby, while „citations per faculty“ is the indicator that destroys science and isn’t a very strong predictor for teaching quality.

Informed consent, the agree or pay business model is legal, it has been challenged in courts but unfortunately without success.

Thank you very much for sharing! Interesting story playing with all the primitives of the consciousness debate. (I am currently reading Penrose‘s the emperor’s new mind.) Also the gc idea is not only cute but thought provoking.
