This whole take is embarrassingly ignorant and no one with the credentials has the time to check you. We need people to do real thinking and they need to ignore you.
I don't understand why took the time to leave (three?) personal attacks, rather than just provide your perspective? I'm willing to acknowledge that my opinion has limitations (I think it mainly applies to CS-adjacent fields with empirical performance evaluations, and where experiments can easily be independently verified).
It really upsets me when i see this kind of hollow rhetoric, which is specifically designed to confuse, and to stear people away from learning and instead make them sceptical of the most honest pursuers of truth.
None of this attack was personal, that is wrong. All was deserved. Complaining about academia without any specifics is one of the dumbest and most well funded and prominent memes in the pseudo intellectual podcast sphere today.
I would be interested to hear other perspectives.
