I mean stereotype of the head-in-the-clouds ivory tower academic comes from somewhere I guess, but most of the folks I've met in academics have been a bit more pragmatic than this list would seem to indicate.

Especially in STEM, where every grad student thinks they are the unique person who has their head on straight and is just waiting to bail for industry.

I think the problem is everyone who makes up a hivemind can be rational and pragmatic and yet the hivemind itself isn't.
