Why is "X is broken." People say this about interviewing and other stuff too. Yes it is broken, but that is the game. You either play it or if you chose not to you won't get the fancy Professorships and title, or in the professional world you won't get the job you want, the promotion you want etc.
- nonbel 8y agoThe difference between that and job interviews is that we are forced to pay for this crap via taxes. It is literally a black hole for tax-dollars. I still say cut government funding for research by 90% and watch it get fixed automatically as all the bad actors stop joining (you still probably need to wait for the current ones to die/retire).
- lsc 8y agoWhen I hear "X is broken" I translate it to "We haven't really figured out X, it must be hard" And usually then things make more sense. We haven't fully figured out interviewing. Interviewing is hard. We haven't fully figured out vetting academic papers, perhaps vetting academic papers is hard
