Maybe I will perhaps post a long thred about the monstrous stupidity that has eaten through academia, through the intelligentsia, the universities, like a thick black foul cancer. The self-interested stupidity, that arises from a declining elite ...

... desperate to maintain its hold on power, and willing to hire any ideologically sympathetic party, to write its propaganda & maintain its intellectual defences. I spent years & years in elite American academia, it was the craziest place. Incompetence everywhere ...

... Professors who could not read the languages they claimed to study, fake and contrived publications, whole journals invented just to get dull American assistant professors enough publications for tenure. Fake fields, fake theories, fake conferences, fake everything.

Tbh, I encountered that in german academia as well.
