Actually completely agree with you about not making yourself a coward, a fool and a fraud.

I should have been clearer. If you want to stay in academia, not debasing yourself comes at a high cost in terms of your career. It is better to leave than to debase yourself.

Academia is a system worth destroying. Participate in its destruction. Leave. There are so many exciting opportunities to continue doing meaningful work outside of universities and research institutes.

Thank you for clarifying to an ideologue-dog. If I'd chosen to remain at university, this post would certainly be a wake-up call to me. Respect.

There certainly are aspects of academia that are overdue for improvement. However, for folks with a CS PhD degree, my guess is that moving out of academia has a high chance of you ending up contributing to surveillance capitalism.

Now there's a system worth destroying.
