    Academia in theory: rigorous debate, only the best ideas succeed Academia in practice: two peer-reviewers who barely glanced at the paper and an editor who doesn't care if the numbers are right or wrong

        This is not about any specific event, just a lot of ridiculous things that have happened this year

        Most academics I know are trying to do their jobs as responsibly as is feasible given the competing demands for our time. It is not clear to me that it is helpful to focus on failures without mentioning the vast majority of academics who are working diligently and in good faith.

        I think the challenge is that the incentives make the system fundamentally broken in important ways i.e. reviewers don't do cursory reviews because they're bad people, but because they're doing unpaid work in their spare time for massive for-profit journal companies

        I think this take is too harsh. Criticism is necessary to our growth. But we have enough people on Twitter trying to publicly delegitimize the academy. (Many doing so in bad faith.) Majority of scholars I’d argue are sincere and care about their craft.

        Um...don’t say that. I’ve been working to get a manuscript published for almost two years. They picked that thing apart limb from limb!
