Well, we shouldn't be too surprised that the people who are paid by tax payer money propagate ideologies that promote them being paid by tax payer money. Or even prop them up as beacons of wisdom in society, towards which people will look up to - the intellectual authorities of society, the priests of socialism, the authorities of knowledge.
This is what these people want, to be relevant and praised for their "intellect." True intellectuals however go to the private sector and do actually productive, challenging work. I personally have only little respect left for academia at this point, and no respect for these entitled, idiotic Marxist professors and their brainwash courses and garbage anti-science. Even the technical side of academia is questionable - a lot of what is taught is just difficult, yet useless trivia.
One can become a capable programmer without any formal education. The internet provides everything one needs to actually educate oneself. I assume this is already true for many courses in general. Regardless of that, I personally learned so much more through actual work than anything I learned in school.
I'm pretty decently educated, but I found it worthless. I was disillusioned with my own major (Psychology) before I even graduated. Most of the best jobs I had were based on more manual dexterity skills than the rote learning in Academia. And the attitudes they taught me were destructive.
I also went through universities, and it was a terrible time for me. I hated everything about it. When I finally started to work everything went upwards.
Anyway, I plan to become an entrepreneur. I am working, besides the 40h/week for my job, on a space ship game. I intend to make it so that it succeeds where all others fail - great exploration, great emphasis on combat, semi-automated player driven economy, as an MMO, and mechanics to prevent too punitive losses when being destroyed. I am almost done with the technical part of the world building - I can create galaxies with 10-100 million solar systems now. The player can fly with FTL through space and see actual stars pass by, and they are procedurally loaded and unloaded. No other game even has that. And I also have giant and super-giant stars! When you pass by them you can witness true scaling, stars which have 50-1000 times the diameter of normal stars.
And I'll also add all the Star Trek phenomenon shit. It will have bold sci-fi & fantasy elements and I will not bind myself to realism at the expense of gameplay and entertainment.
Oh and the battles will be epic. You know that one epic battle scene in Battlestar Galactica? That... I will have.
...Anyway, what I am saying, I think... is fuck academia...
Dang, good luck. Wonderfully imaginative. Just make sure to include beautiful women who are not SJWs!
And I'm not even kidding. I heard some gaming companies are deliberately making their female characters unattractive so the Trans gamers don't get jealous and feel bad about themselves.
I had some creative gusto. Did a few novels, but didn't get a lot of attention. Now I'm wondering if that's for the best, because the Leftist are so bloody insane that they'll murder you and your career if you say marriage is between a man and a woman. Hate these kooks. And I get disgusted by the writers who seem to fit comfortably in that shark pool.
Sounds like Mass effect, you know they fucked up when the most attractive girl in Mass effect Andromeda is vetra nyx, (An armor plated alien woman) because of her personality.
Sure as hell I won't tow their ideological line. I'm the kind of guy who rather doubles down when pushed with that nonsense. Sure as hell there will only be 2 genders to pick from, no matter with how much aliens we are dealing with. And maybe one type of aliens who are fanatical, collectivist and hostile, and therefore act as somewhat weaker pirate and bandit NPCs... who for some reason put burkas on their women and occasionally stone them. Who have a preference to live on sandy planets. Haha, we'll see!

As Yoda said I had to unlearn what I had learned.
