I have no idea how he even LARP'd as a Cambridge prof for so long. You'd think he'd have been clearly exposed almost from day 1. That might be the biggest embarassment of all from the university's perspective

true, and should have been obvious to Cambridge.

Maybe he really did deserve to be Cambridge faculty

Great and Unfortunate Things is Jason Arday’s memoir of overcoming remarkable challenges and responding to adversity with resilience.

Jason Arday grew up in a lively corner of South London as the second youngest of three boys. He was diagnosed with autism and developmental delays at age three, and experts told his parents he would never speak, write, or live independently—and should be institutionalized.

His parents refused. Instead, his extraordinary mother, Giff, drawing on her faith and thinking outside the box, embraced his neurodivergence and devoted herself to helping him realize a potential few others believed possible—using everything from the proverbs of her West African culture to music, sports, and film to help him make sense of the world.

In Great and Unfortunate Things, we see how Arday went from being nonverbal as a child and illiterate until he was eighteen to scaling unimag-inable heights as an adult. Without romanticizing the struggle, this is a story of determination against seemingly insurmountable odds—and of a family and a small group of believers whose compassion helped him see what is possible.

A powerful story for our moment, Arday’s journey is a testament to resilience, dignity, and the life-changing force of community in action.

And people in England were like. "OH MY GOD THAT'S FUCKING AMAZING! YOU SHOULD BE LIKE, THE KING OR SOMETHING! WE'LL MAKE YOU THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD!"

That's more or less what happened. The crazy part is that they kept elevating this dude who was talking out of his ass, had no ability to do any real academics. He published in 'academic' journals that were like "Queer Theory" and "Homoerotic Tales and How to Be More Gay" using Ph.D theses stolen from obscure, little known students copied almost verbatim lol.

Then some random American guy who lives there was like "uhh hey guys. this uh is all made up."

They fired him and he killed himself immediately.
