      It doesn't inherently bother me, as I guess that's life. But for most science things I don't care if we disagree.

      Disagreement is not bad, I would be worried if we agreed on everything.

      IRL a lot of people I know get super upset about discussing differences of opinion, see challenging ideas as attacking the person

      Yeah, this is why I started this thread. I think a certain type of people would rather unfollow me than discuss.

      Also IRL and online people have trouble disagreeing politely. So sometimes they really are attacking the person!

      ya true. Do you find ppl in academia can't have debates? Mostly it's my family and non-academic friends who get upset / personal.

      It's identical to outside academia pretty much.

      interesting! one of my favourite things about academia was the freedom to discuss ideas without it turning personal instantly

      It's certainly a spectrum, but it seems similar inside academia. Younger academics have fewer ideas of their "own", less to "lose" — as you

      move in more advanced circles you realise there's senior people very protective of "their" ideas.

          But ultimately your peers will become, along with you, naturally more senior, if you remain in academia.

          That i do realize, but i don't want to view myself as "advanced", because that strengthens ideas of isolated ivory towers and elitism.

          TBH, I don't know about philosophy, but it's a myth in psychology. I'm not in a ivory tower because I'm paid 3 times more than a phd student

          I'm not in an ivory tower because I have slightly more job security than other postdocs. There are untouchables, but certainly not me.

          Untouchables to mean people impervious to calls for them to fuck off, not like the caste.

          I think use of ivory tower is one of those anti expert slogans that's 90% untrue.
