Academics is the business of confusing people because it pays money. No interest in clarifying shit.

How should be the future of academia? We still need researchers and PhDs making breakthroughs on different kinds of fields.

We should strive to build initiatives like arxiv.org, sci-hub, open science methodology, citizen science (www.zooniverse.org/projects)

Less judgmental, more open to critics, more loving and less idiotic, caring for understanding and creativity over anything else, less rigid, epistemic driven, more accesible, less a dick measuring contest. But right now as it is is just a circus. All those things I mentioned requires authority to work and not just hippie leftists.

The people that make the breakthroughs go beyond academic rules. Even if they're part of academy, they're just exceptions and this is not encouraged from the inside. Anything that gets you closer to imagination should be encouraged, do they teach this in academy? No, it is just a pressure cooker and mindless imitation. They advocate for curiosity but in practice they produce the opposite effect.
