We do have those academics. It's funny, they're the most paid and don't seem to give a shit about it all, where as those below them seem to be constantly trying to earn more than each other to be seen as better than each other. The top academics and most of the research academics seem to all succeed because they're connected to reality, not the academia schoolyard games.
