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.
