No, its not, which means our boi either LOVED what he did or NEEDED the money. One is totally cool, the other is horrific.
One is totally cool,
no its actualy not that a "indivvidualism" brain reflex !
, he needs to make fucking room for the next generation , even if he loved it. ...
And if he dont have someone that can replace him , he has not been a good teacher ...otherwise he would have a replacement ready ... And its not like retired Profs. are not involved in Discussions ,Alumini or all kinds of other programms that they have on a univeristy ...
And the money thing ... hes a Professor ...

, he needs to make fucking room for the next generation , even if he loved it. …
Disagree, age shouldn't block you off from a passion. If someone enjoys their subject matter and enjoys teaching and genuinely wants to do it, then you should let them continue. The problem only comes when they are socially pressured or monetarily forced into it against their will.
Old people are still PEOPLE, they should be allowed to do what they want as well.

And thats how it always been ....
110 year old people should not Drive , 88 year old should not teach outside of Alumini shit ... etc ... he had more then a decade with his passion .. its enough...
yes fuck his "individual Passion" . get another one ... Flowers are good
Old people are still PEOPLE, they should be allowed to do what they want as well ,
not if its to the detrement of society... (Think Driving) , they are old ..they had half a century to prepare themself for giving up on their passions ...

But, they aren't dead? Not every old person has dementia many are pretty sharp mind wise up to the end.
