I wouldn't worry that computer scientists have had a hard time figuring themselves out. Academia is a kind of a dinosaur anyway, though there are a lot of smart people in it, cranking out good work. I just don't think Academia does them justice and it will be obvious very soon. Scholars who embrace decentralized teaching/learning will have such a strong information asymmetry advantage they will make the academic output of universities look like crayon drawings.

You can argue that the academics will adapt and reform their institutions in the decentralized space, but I would argue it won't really be Academia as we know it.
