      if I had to guess, I'd say that academic philosophy is a zero sum game, where all individual benefits (promotion, tenure, book deals, co-authorship with more famous academics, etc etc etc) come at the direct cost to others, and so the entire realm is built on zero sum back bitinghttps://twitter.com/d08890/status/1351509543797272580 …

          I’m assuming right now that humanities grad students are searching each other’s social media, looking to preemptively cancel them in order to reduce competition for their limited jobs.
