    two theories: 1) academia-in-practice has so poisoned the reputation of academia-in-theory that no one wants to do something as low status as what the universities do 2) you can read books part time while still actually DOING things. Why waste time in dry and useless repose?https://twitter.com/andy_matuschak/status/1486870216260808707 …

    This question's gauche, but: given the prevalence of $400k++ comp packages for ~30-year-olds in Big Tech, why aren't there lots more "gentle[wo]man scholars"? i.e. people quitting to do non-remunerative creative projects I can think of some, but shouldn't there be thousands?

        2/ half agree w @hradzka , half angry at him for putting "creative" and "craft" in oppositionhttps://twitter.com/hradzka/status/1487493958510919683 …

        Because people with tech money tend to have craft-oriented rather than creative-oriented hobbies, and they do them on the side like the craft cocktail explosion and the tiki revival, kitchen revolutions in molecular gastronomy, people making stuff? thank well-heeled tech workers https://twitter.com/andy_matuschak/status/1486870216260808707 …

        Replying to @MorlockP

        You can do academia while doing other things too, arguably. Einstein didn't come up with them theory of relativity while sitting in a university office chasing tenure. A lot of the "soft" science academics in particular could do with a brush with the real world now and then.
