Scholarships and academic studies I pursued for almost three decades and, frankly, had enough of it (and, usually, entails a commitment to publish anyway.). BTW, despite all it's dark sides, academic peer-review can be quite enriching. 50% of the feedback is high quality and great for improvement, something one rarely finds on external platforms.
Right. Another dark side of the 'publish or perish' dogma of a decadent academia. A long debated issue (you can find the almost daily accounts on Retraction Watch for the last dozen of years) for which, however, nobody could find a decent solution for.
Why do you decide to invest, including consideable amounts of resources, in peer reviewed publications, for example as opposed to a path of scholarship entirely independent of in-group academic validation, or as another example, a path of philosophical / consciousness academic studies? (neutral question)
