You making some pretty wild assertions without evidence to back them up.

Academia is by no means a paradise and there are lots of problems (largely caused by how academia is funded and the resulting incentive structures). Problems also include abuse etc., but the picture you paint is neither accurate nor warranted. It seems like your view is clouded by some bad experiences you've had, but you can't generalize those.

And I do know what I'm talking about.
