Academia's mad cabal incentive structure can't collapse soon enough. A never-ending dog-and-pony parade while undergrads are fleeced, capped and kicked without a single notable competence after four years paying through the nosehttps://twitter.com/paulg/status/1101497087743660032 …

I'm picking up a good bit of outsider sentiment here. To be clear, this has nothing to do with undergrads, only researchers who literally devote their lives to improving our understanding of the world.

This has everything to do with taxpayers paying for research they aren't permitted to read and undergrads selling out their futures for not-eve-n-passable educations from researchers who have little to no incentive to teach them anything. Wake. Up.

As someone who has been through the university, earned a PhD, got grants, published, worked for startups, and now works for a large publisher, is it reasonable to think that I might be more informed than the average person on this topic?
