Engineering is at the apex of French social and intellectual aspirations; and so, Engineering students are taught not only their craft and trade, but also Culture, Art, History, Language. And as these are the best students, often they are more equipped, both socially and intellectually, to deal with Literature and Culture than those who choose to study those things, as those who choose to study those things can only become ... teachers. And teachers are very low down the social spectrum in France. Professors, somewhat higher: but they do not go to universities, they go to the Grandes Ecoles, and they access the Elite, and then they go and "teach" in Universities, a sinecure to give them status, time, and leisure to write and read and be intellectuals; they don't really teach very much. They delegate that to adjuncts and juniors, of lower social classes.

THE HOLLOW PATH IS A MEETING OF MINDS AND HEARTS, TO FOSTER EXHANGES AROUND MAGIC, ART, ENCHANTMENT, CULTURE, POLITICS, AND POETICS ...
RE-ENCHANTMENT. RE-WILDING. RE-MEMBERING.
