By be...I can certainly see your point and struggle. By becoming more powerful, are you distancing yourself from the struggle? My conclusion: not necessarily. There are a LOT of amazing people in academia who have done some amazing things because of that position of power. I know of a prof who got OU to support the McNair scholars fund to help underprivileged minorities go to grad school with the intent of pursuing a PhD. It was amazing listening to some of the scientific discoveries that came about because of the McNair program and seeing just how little research is done using different anatomies than a WASP male. This is changing, thankfully. I don't know if you've ever seen Good Will Hunting, but your post reminds me of that movie. The main character has the knowledge to do so much, help so much more than he was doing. As do you. By not using that knowledge, would that be any better for God and community? Not everyone has the capacity to study and learn about nanosa and all that. Amazing. So that's my thought. But I do see your point. It's hard.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06448703279740052765noreply@blogger.com
