“…Are there even (enough) "geniuses" that want to be employed at today's universities, or have they concluded that the university is probably lost (cf. McFarlane, 2013), and that knowledge, wisdom, ideas, inspiration, and insights might better be found elsewhere like online blogs or "(…) books and working papers, where there is no pseudo-quality control which hinders innovative ideas." (Binswanger, 2014, p. 59).…”

One in five university heads have little or no professional experience in higher education.…”

“…Assuming there has been a negative incentive-structure, it could be useful to wonder what it specifically consists of and involves, and how and why this came to exist (e.g. see Binswanger, 2014;Edwards & Roy, 2017;Kun, 2018;McFarlane, 2013).

“…Smaldino & McElreath, 2016), but may have also contributed to a natural selection of bad scientists 2 (cf. McFarlane, 2013). Meehl (1990) also wrote that it might be too much to ask of a Psychology Professor to possibly accept his line of thought, and come to a certain realization.…”
