  1. All academic fraud shoukd be, because there's a ton of money that comes with PhDs and academic citations

  2. It goes to literally every competive field that the top handful get stupidly rich, even videogames and journalism. It always ends up just selling a power fantasy to the masses.

  3. The incentive for peer review is to read the abstract, make suggestions for improvement, and get the street cred for involvement

  4. That's like compensation consultants. They are well paid with the incentive to do nothing important, make minor recommendations and watch the drama unfold

  5. I can honestly say I was never fooled by the draw of prestigious colleges. No one I ever met thought you coukd get better degrees by paying 10x the amount of money. What I should have known is that the only people who are willing to go through that garbage are rich kids with more money than sense and scammers participating in a pyramid scheme.

  9. With a lot of these academics you know they're frauds just from the names. Where they're from, the facilities simply don't exist to put them in high office

  11. @TheZachary86  Exceot Einstein was a man and didn't understand all the fandom around him. Also, the professors are prestige whores too. Many of these colleges don't even need to pay for low level professors because thousands of men will teach 1-2 classes for free just so they can say they taught at that school

  12. @WinstonSmithGPT  this took decades to develop

  13. @TheZachary86  except Einstein himself cannot give you any better education than a no-name with the same degree.
