The thing to realize about academia is that the vast majority of people in it have never experienced the real world. They went straight from grade school to college to working in academia, and stay there until they retire or die.
Academia is literally all these people know, and they've been sheltered their entire lives. No one should be surprised that this produces strange results.
Obviously there are exceptions, but there's no denying it produces some interesting world views.
