Have you seen Utena?

Other than that. I agree 100% with you. I wanted to be a STEM researcher, but once the pandemic hit, it became obvious that academics are mostly hostages from the status quo, held upon the position of giving zoom lectures ad infinitum and publishing papers for the rest of eternity, they really have faith in that system, which they have been doing since WWII. It pays, it is a job, universities print a lot of money, you can't turn off the switch so easily. Universities have been there for a hundred years, they will outlive us. I am not agaisnt education. I just think that perhaps life gets interesting outside of these big structures. I don't have a job and probably blown out my scientific career prospects by outstraight saying I couldn't handle anymore holding the lie. Now I must life by what I preach, it will probably take sometime to get used to go on in life without an umbrella. Hopefully I won't starve.
