I think there's a lot of insight in this post. "Education spins on the axis of reputation which spins on the axis of influence (within a field that fuels a dependency on the promise of both), so much so that the desire to simply help people learn, discover, or imagine can get very very lost in the mix." Most people in the field do the honest work of helping people on a day to day basis. Some people sometimes spin a 'hit single' that gets them noticed. But "then people would get tired of it. There would be other songs, other musicians, other hit tunes." The only way to survive, in my view, is to be focused on the honest work, not on being a celebrity. Do the work, help people learn, and maybe (in my case) rescue some kittens.
