How? It's a state university and the professor has tenure. Armies of lawyers fall before such obstacles. What could I even do?

Would you say that I have created an obstacle to understanding? That was not my intent at all. I only wished to get down to the basics of ethics philosophy. That's it. In retrospect, it would have been better to have sought consultation, rather than simply presenting a contrarian view, but isn't higher education supposed to be about broadening horizons? Why would a person decide that another is a failure simply because of an attitude?

The more I learn, the less I understand. If understanding the key concepts behind something is wrong, then I do not know what is right. I feel like the world made a quantum leap at some point and I missed it somehow. My prof has a master's degree, and he apparently thinks I'm an idiot......

Ah, well. I wrote to him during my brief hiatus from subsim this evening, so I'll wait to see what he says.
