Whine

I have just published an article at ‘The Conversation’ which is an online ‘newspaper’ primarily populated with articles written by academics.

I had a bunch of comments from academics, mostly disagreeing with something I didn’t say in the article. Hilarious.

So my first observation is that academics are very bad at comprehension.

Secondly, they were all whining about this and that. They simply do not feel empowered to do something about what ails them. But they will happy whine for years about the same thing.

I think they need a collective crash course in assertiveness training.

And maybe someone should tell them that if they don’t like their environment then they should change jobs or careers.

Let’s hope that their whiny and useless ways do not rub off onto their students.
