      IMO, the sentiment in this NYT comment is too common. Real value creation *does* happen in the world; if your pet field is showing up at the trough but not producing anything approaching proportionate value, "embattled" is precisely what it ought to be. Bloat is too costly.pic.twitter.com/vLV1jVwv4I

      It really might be true that entire fields exist in large part because (a) subpar academics wanted to carve out their own fiefdoms & (b) future subpar academics are willing to pay hand over fist for programs that bestow a scholarly veneer for little efforthttps://twitter.com/clairlemon/status/1047989775108472832 …

      I want to be careful not to overstate the implications of the hoax... but a lot of the defenses I'm hearing aren't actual defenses, just culpability-shoveling. It's not the reviewers, it's the journals. It's not the journals, it's the field. It's not the field, it's the students.

      "Everyone knows" *most* of the work that's published is — at best — probably not worth doing, and "everyone knows" that of that, a fair bit is just silly/lazy/total garbage. "Everyone knows" which fields are the worst offenders. OK, but how is this an argument *against* the hoax?

      I certainly don't know that. My expectation is that most humanities work is worthwhile. I base "worthwhile" on a strong prior, which I don't know if you share: information about what it means to be human is incredibly valuable for its own sake, worth spending money to acquire.

      This is super, super important: how much money? Because IMO the Q isn't whether some scholarly work in the humanities is worth paying a great deal for — of course it is — or whether you have to tolerate some junk/bloat — of course you do. But this is a tradeoff, not a binary.

          Good question, albeit it depends on what the end goal is. We can't use money to optimize for average quality of paper. More funding would temporarily free up more academics to peer review, but for-profit academic publishers will merely launch more journals in response.

          So, what else? A metric used by many humanities-inclined folks is to look at the quality of governance and public debate around us, and if it's bad, pronounce that the humanities are underfunded. This is remarkably crude, but IMO not without merit
