I won't dispute that statement with respect to his situation. Academia is very broad, and the expectations at Harvard are rather different from most of academia. At many academic institutions you can have a life and get tenure.
- jimhefferon 9y agoI think that statement is getting less true every year. Increasingly, for instance, we seem to only hire people who would be tenurable today. So people are thinking they need to have a number of papers, etc., before they get a PhD. It is an accelleration and a person wonders if it doesn't result in people churning out stuff because it it publishable, rather than because it is worthwhile. And when you reward that, that's what you get.
