Sabrina Hossenfelder on Why the Academy is Broken [Video]

“…unlike academic research, this is an honest trade. You get some of my knowledge. I get some of your attention. I like the simplicity of that” (12:53).

For my own version of Hossenfelder’s story, see this post: The changing terms of my Socratic bargain with the American Academy [and the larger search for truth]. I’ve included that on pp. 19-25 of a working paper, Crisis Among HUMANITIES DISCIPLINES in the Twenty-First Century.
