In my limited experience... Status matters. Politics are nasty. Every subfield has its own culture, its own royalty. Better funded professors get more and higher status students. Bigotry is common, and so are "quirky personalities" -- and due to the tolerance of weirdos, bigotry is assumed to not exist. Mathematicians are not without their people problems. Just like every other slice of humanity, they lie to themselves. |
