> I find this rudeness and pedantry in academia infuriating.
vs all those "I just don't believe in being fake and sugar coating things" folks in every other industry? Not much unique to academia on that front.
- astrodust 10y agoLike food critics, some have taken the art of shitting on things to absurd heights. "I find this theory highly disagreeable, it contradicts findings by X and Y et al." Compared with: "I once asked my dog for a theory on the nature of the universe, whereupon which he vomited violently on the floor. This explanation has more truth to it than the one presented in this paper, which I can only presume was written by students who, in their youth, were savagely beaten upside the head by their parents much to the detriment of their intellect."
