Vanity

I have now decided to take my institution resignation plans a bit further and resign from every single one of them over the course of this week and ask for my money back for any unused membership time. They became an expensive intellectual addiction that I now can no longer afford or even I think wanted in the first place. I am still left with quite a few other qualifications that I do not have to maintain on a regular basis and following the new philosophy of financial austerity sanity and realism I have realised that they were only items of intellectual vanity in the first place. The letters will all go out this week.
