Academia, like arts, is millions of people fighting over a much smaller number of decent jobs. It's no wonder that both fields are hotbeds of social ostracisation tactics, groupthink, begging for forgiveness when people try to cancel you, and so on.

This is much worse in fields where the non-academic outside option sucks, like the humanities. You barely ever see this in something like CS or economics where you can just go work on Wall Street if you get tired of it.

academics always seem to be panicking over their useless jobs too which is funny
it seems like a perma-panic attack until you're tenured, but they always just double down and take another University degree instead of understanding opportunity cost
