I’m seeing a growing number of students complain: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into the course.”

When reminded of our finitude, we turn to work to avoid it

Social anxiety -> more meetings
Existential anxiety -> more hours

We put more time into working to stop time, from undoing us for good.
