""Recently I had a student approach me after the first week of class and tell me that she was having a hard time in our class because she doesn’t like to hear about or think about death, and I was 'talking too much about death.' I had to gently break it to her that death was kind of a big topic for philosophers."

@pebonilla I think this idea runs into problems when you combine it with the consumer model of higher education. Yeah sure, at any point you can drop out of class, but students will then demand a path toward a philosophy degree that doesn’t involve death or arguments for/against the existence of God.
@johninfante @pebonilla Let's not forget being made to feel uncomfortable about what your ancestors did, or to entertain the thought that you might be a member of a class which is still advantaged by those things.
