GOVERNMENTS ARE RISK AVERSE. THEY ENCOURAGE RISK-AVERSE PERSONALITIES TO BECOME ARTISTS. SOME GOOD ARTISTS IN THEIR MATURITY WILL TAKE A JOB AT A UNIVERSITY AND CONTINUE TO PRODUCE BECAUSE THEY HAVE TRAINED THEMSELVES TO PRODUCE. BUT THE UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENT IS NOT A PRODUCTIVE ENVIRONMENT... IT'S NOT FREE...
IF I SELL AN ARTICLE TO VANITY FAIR, THEY GIVE ME SOME MONEY AND WE'RE QUITS. I CAN TAKE THAT MONEY AND SPEND IT ON HEROIN AND ARAB BOYS IF I WANT. BUT IF I GET THE MONEY I MAKE FROM THE UNIVERSITY EVERY YEAR, THAT COMES WITH A REQUIREMENT THAT I NOT BE A PEDOPHILE, THAT I NOT BE A DRUG ADDICT, THAT I NOT TELL THE TRUTH... THAT'S WHAT THAT MONEY IS. AND IF I TAKE A JOB AT A UNIVERSITY AND I'M A YOUNG PERSON, I HAVE SIX YEARS IN WHICH I CAN'T EXPRESS MY OPINION UNTIL I GET TENURE. NOW, ARE YOU GOING TO REMEMBER YOUR OPINIONS FOR SIX YEARS?
