I would be the *worst* academic. Letter of recommendation? "I dunno, this kid is sorta okay, I think I've accurately remembered their name." Faculty meeting? "I'm going to openly play video games on my phone." Paper review? "This sucks. I will not be explaining further."

The only good part of academia is seeing presentations of early work and I much prefer to get that by sneaking into conferences to slouch in the back during talks, wander out during the boring ones, avoid socializing to surf twitter, and then steal the catered lunch.

In fact, even when I was a CS student I was occasionally mistaken for a homeless person.
