So, https://www.chronicle.com/article/tenured-trapped-and-miserable-in-the-humanities … I get feeling trapped in one's job by tenure and the roots one lays down and so on. But it is also mindbendingly absurd to have academics clinging to jobs they hate when there are so many early career folks who long for those same positions.

I cannot imagine sticking it out in an academic job while thinking that nothing I did mattered. Honestly, a professor who doesn't think their field matters probably should move on, for their own sake and for the field's sake.

Good point; in my rage I wasn't thinking about methodology
