Fred Moten on "university work and feeling"
 

Moten: "We were trying to understand [...] our own alienation from our capacity to study--the exploitation of our capacity to study that was manifest as a set of academic products"
 
"this is what workers who are also thinkers have always been trying to understand. How come we can't be together and think together in a way that feels good, the way it should feel good?"
 
"it seems hard for people to ask, collectively, 'why doesn't this feel good?'"
