      One reason I am so openly partisan these days is that I don't think Trump supporters actually process in this "least worst" way. Their profile (people who never left hometown, live in homogeneous neighborhoods, have contempt for college) does not inspire confidence.

      in this bubble it's about actually-existing college falling short of an ideal, rather than contempt for scholarship itself

          There's a persuasive argument to be made for research academics as a place for specialists to try wild-ass shit, fail cheaply and quickly, and thus expand the envelope That's not how research actually works, though

          I have contempt for academia, college, university, higher ed, in that order. Scholarship per se is iffy

          see that's clearly not 'all of us', what's wrong with scholarship?

          "scholarship" is a shibboleth — consider the different valence of "research"

          hmm i'd say research would mean the systematic acquisition of specific novel knowledge and scholarship the broader but close acquaintance with the field to which such new knowledge would belong -not certain tho as this is not my first language

          Scholarship = reading all the books, research = gathering information. There's definitely overlap in usage though

          you need some amount of scholarship in order to be familiar enough with the territory that you can do effective research
