$100k-$200K U.S.
Academia is analogous to Playboy Mansion.
India’s Kota academia is analogous to Academic Swingers’ cafe.
Dubai alike Academia,
as long as one can bring revenue to the Kingdom, via any means, Welcomed.
The Americans’ join Academia, to sit in the Wall Street, & then galvanize everyone else’s thoughts/ideas, & invest from the money generated out of thin air; to market themselves as Innovators’ as if carrying Weight of the entire World. Besides splurging on to have the great Girlfriend Experience.
Indians in
general join Academia, either in the quest to get any VISA or for a great Dowry. Further, they’re scared of gap
years/taking risks in career, else, Career Cancelled! Amusing that an Indian Politician once asked for votes as he once cleared
JEE; & yes, he got voted in.
Arabic rich countries
are there to just Invest. Innovation is irrelevant for them. They just want large
portion of ROI; doesn’t matter the source of revenue.
The Leftists
& Liberals’ are mostly found in history, social sciences, cultural wars,
politics, journalism classes, as that’s the easiest way to match themselves
with Investors’ expensive lifestyle.
In Judiciary,
there’s this thought that expensive Pleaders would always bring wisdom & true
judgements.
The Nationalists/Sectarians would invoke culture & language, when found in a position of not
originating, inventing. So goes for all forever Victim Card Holders.
Traders, marketers,
investors need justification to prove their dominance. So, they take refuge of expensive
Academia.
The Leftists have
to carve their paths to prove their intelligence, without investments or originations.
So, they take refuge of government funded Academia.
Evolutionary Traits being diluted absolutely.
It isn’t a sin to
kill via wars or proselytism or invasion or viruses or corruption or coercive economic dominance, but, condemned to be
in hell if found not a have credentials, ratified by the above entities.
This is the Academia
of the last half a century.
So, long live the
few remaining illuminated, wherever they’re! If there’re any!
