I think that people who signed up for YCR are looking for alternatives, and who will themselves be part of a biased group. In other words, it might be people who have struggled to find tenure-track positions in academia.<p>I think I&#x27;m mainly echoing the opinion that it&#x27;s a little quick to say Academia is &quot;fucked up&quot;, since with all it&#x27;s flaws, there are still great virtues, and a more thoughtful response would probably be more appreciated. I also see the tendency for people to quickly judge academia when they haven&#x27;t been in academia.
