Neither do I. I agree with the central point of the article. I guess if I had one thing to say it would be this: professors who make lots of money to research and not teach are just maximizing their utility. Blame is complicated. I hate teaching people things, personally. But if I was 20 years older than I am, I'd probably be a professor. I like to read and talk about ideas, and think. And that's pretty much it. I would do everything in my power to get on a research track and never have to enter an undergraduate lecture hall again in my life.
