      Is she grounded? She probably should be.

                Fact: the more academic one is, the less connected they are to the real world.
                Fact: The less connected one is to the real world, the farther left they are on the economic scale.

                Why should academics care if unemployment rises and the economy falls on its ass in a left-wing economy? They've got cushy government funding.

                        I've shifted a fair bit to the right and to the libertarian side. IIRC the first time I took this I had something like 8/5.5...

                            Yes, even if they pretend they aren't. It's a ruse.

                              Please tell me how academia isn't real.

                              Last time I checked, it involved buildings, employees, workloads, etc.

                                You are not exposed to the real world economy and you live in a bubble. It's obvious trying to debate you. You don't know much of anything in the subjects you discuss, but that doesn't stop you from trying.

                                You and Agathon are both terrific examples. By chance, you both study a field I'm very critical of in academia...
