@natematias Phew, thank you. For all the mess of it, I share this basic gratitude for the guild.
Maybe of interest, since you are thinking historically, here is something I wrote as I stumbled into the tenure track: https://osf.io/efkm8/

  A Wantless, Workless World: How the Origins of the University Can Inform Its Future
  
  from @OSFramework
  
  From China to North Africa to Europe, the earliest institutions of higher education arose as a set of strategies to protect and encourage practices of productive leisure. These were knowledge-production practices the surrounding social and economic order might not otherwise have seen fit to value: self-directed time organized to meet collectively agreed-upon standards. Practices of productive leisure have also become targets for colonial regimes seeking to undermine local civilizations for their own ends. Today, in an era of growing labor precarity and the specter of technological unemployment, higher education is poised to ensure that the benefits of the transformation underway circulate to a broader set of people than is currently the case. Updating the medieval guild structure of universities with cooperative enterprise, and platform cooperativism in particular, can facilitate the capture and sharing of economic surplus. By protecting productive leisure through higher education, automation can yield widespread dividends of liberated time. Hosted on the Open Science Framework
