We can still be unhappy about the lack of money for philosophers, though,
without saying it should be a government-imposed funding mandate.
If I make a lot of money in CS (which I probably won't, because I want to
be a professor) or even if I don't, I hope I can give some money to schools
to help make being a philosopher affordable.
