This made me chuckle because of some of the truth in it:
What universities actually do, however, is publish papers nobody reads in journals nobody can afford, in order to make their numbers go up in ranking systems nobody understands, so they can attract research funding and student enrollments so they can pay people to publish more academic papers.
Yes and some number of those students leave the university with new ideas and connections. Maybe some of their papers were an exercise to focus their expertise? Not saying universities are the only place that one can find new ideas and connections with the world either.



Everything in our environment is carcinogenic, poking into our cells and altering our DNA. Not surprised by this at all! We either become the crab or be eaten by the crab. This is the final truth. That’s making me kinda hungry, gonna eat some overlords tonight.
