And I deeply disagree with you.
If we are looking for people who earn lots of money for no real tangible work, the people who work in tax exempt churches and congregations are much higher in that list than people in academia.
All modern prophets, pastors, speakers, con artists and so on. People in academia don't buy a new SUV every year, while these talkers do.
And right now, with the Covid crisis, we need the work of the academics. Not the whatever they do in the talkers group.
