Academia is most of the time stacked, too afraid to move forward, to risk the little it has.

Yes, and people like to specialize and don't like to be wrong. I've had old school neuroscientists tell me psychology isn't a thing.

So much this. I've been treated as if I had a dunce cap on for entertaining ideas from philosophy and phenomenology.

Yes, there's risk everywhere you constantly wonder if you've made the wrong choice. simple questions like 'your work doesn't fit anywhere, where you gonna publish?' is enough to knock your confidence down

Don't let it get to you. Your unique perspective and contributions to the field are vital; same for others' in this thread and beyond.

In my experience, many people in science run after what they see others do, and if your work does not fit the 'majority/default/hype/dogma' they think it does not fit, or is not good or valuable. The opposite is true!

We need people to define new questions, pose new challenges and try to break ground. We also need people who know our fields' histories (cf.
@o_guest tweets), and have the conceptual skill and courage to explore relationships between fields, areas, ideas, techniques.2 replies 8 retweets 12 likes -

Working too tightly within the norms of a discipline can also be risky if the discipline hits a crisis (e.g. replication crisis), and you don't have enough flexibility to re-orient

Yeah, what do you do if you're a mind/body dualist and you find out the brain controls everything? I mean, do you write a book saying your last book was wrong?
