 Thought-provoking article about how the tendancy of academics to be obediant and respect authority combined with the competitiveness and lack of solidarity among colleagues conspire to make us especially ill-suited to fight against the degredation of our sector.

 @0553753f I found this article very frustrating because I also daily see this lack of solidarity and the terrible effects of it, but I don't think this article will persuade anyone to change their ways. It feels nihilistic. Better question to ask is why have we who believe in improving things via solidarity failed to convince everyone?
