  The interview subject almost mentions it, but it might have to do with this drek (in a celebratory piece from 2018)

  I don't know, but people like Ben eater or Pikuma can definitely have great connections with their students over zoom.

  Maybe the teachers also need to change the teaching method? I could be wrong because I was not poisoned by social media and short videos when I was young and I did read a lot. I also read Moby Dick although didn't enjoy it.
