Sucks that you had to go through this. I don't equate the way that academia is run with science (nor do I think they hold a monopoly on knowledge as people would rather believe and prostrate themselves for as if it were an altar), I don't think I could be friends with people who are that simple minded, probably why I don't have many friends in the first place lol Maybe I got lucky and never saw any of the relationships I had with academia, corporate world, or society at large permanent or all that interesting in the first place… I tend towards aversion and skepticism, and it seems like every wants someone else to drink the kool-aid they made… best I could do take a sip from what would kill me the least before I piss it out and move on.
