You're right, I made a mistake.
I should have pointed out that I didn't do anything of this stuff while in college. I didn't really know what positivism was. I didn't read Das Kapital (I didn't even spell it right!). I didn't know what an intellectual framework was.
But I've played catch-up since graduating. I hope to save someone else that dysfunction by just going to a proper institution that cares about disciplined learning.
