Factually incorrect. The best academics get "colleagues" fired and blacklisted to ensure their own status within academia. Refuting arguments is far inferior to declaring consensus and excluding dissenting voices - the latter is much more effective at getting tenure and grants.https://twitter.com/FranciMinerva/status/1365245531073769474 …

Replying to @CovfefeAnon
Most people confuse "ought" with "is" and analyse real world from that "ought" worldview. Yeah, good academics ought to do what Minerva says but in reality they almost never do, so I don't know why what what academics should do go into the definition of "good academic".

Replying to @actually_an_alt
That's not really confusing is and ought - it's an attempt to use deception as to what the ought is. What makes a good academic? She's trying to pretend that it has something to do with a search for truth when usage shows "gets grants and tenure" is the actual purpose.

The deception comes from trying to get the respect accorded to a seeker of truth when the reality is seeking of grants and publications and citations. Motte and bailey
