A quick progress report on Misplaced Fools, my absurd critique of tenure, time travel and modern academia.

The premise, in one breath

The wizards study esoteric subjects of no interest to anyone, don't teach classes, and have the magical ability of a squashed grape. Naturally, they should keep their jobs. Their solution? A crazy time travel plot, of course.

The question was never whether time travel was a good idea. The question was whether it counted towards their research output.
