@Printdevil Right... It should be about helping people acquire skills and familiarity with a field of knowledge. Move away from that and it's 19th Century German universities with everyone queuing up to lick the boots of Herr Doktor Professor Hegel @devilsjunkshop

I think anyone who writes megadungeons is probably suffering from "Low Ceiling Thinking" at the best of times though. @Taskerland @devilsjunkshop

We are very much back to lick-boot academia in a lot of disciplines, usually around the people who are able to generate substantial funding because PhD grants and loans are so expensive. Perception of Risk Communication gets a fortune in psych research funded by Petro-Chem though various slush funds to the extent it's like a money laundering operation - but you can get your free ride if you wag the dog's tail for it. @Taskerland @devilsjunkshop
