Tim recalls oddball community college professors, including a woman threatening plagiarists and a teacher bragging about rejecting a student's sexual favors, framing why he never respected academia.

In this bit10 moments
  • Tim describes a communications professor at community college named Professor Ghoulianello who would spend 10 minutes threatening the class about plagiarism.
  • The professor would wear knee-high boots that scrunch down and make cryptic statements like 'if you place your eyes I will know.'
  • An English teacher at community college, described as very fat, would rest his hands on his stomach and tell students unsolicited stories about girls offering sexual favors.
  • Tim explains he avoided college because he felt sexuality confrontation would force him to stop lying his way through life, a plan he followed until age 25.
  • He argues he's basically become who he's supposed to be, and alternative versions of himself would have been false avatars in business or academic environments.
  • Tim questions why there's now a University of Austin and why everyone is constantly promoting Austin as a destination.
  • The University of Austin appears designed to capitalize on Elon Musk's presence there, with people hoping to network their way into Tesla hiring.
  • Tim describes a networking strategy of spending a couple years at bars near Musk doing coke with teachers to build connections.
  • He explains he applied to NYU's film program but found it too competitive, then was offered acceptance to Hofstra instead.
  • Tim attended Hofstra for a year for film before dropping out, describing the experience as 'bad bad bad news.'
