That’s exactly my point though; it’s incomplete but academics sell incomplete/wrong work to eat.

They’re just as much avoiding real work of keeping themselves alive as an aristocrat to noodle around something that will only ever be incomplete due to our axiomatic systems being leaky abstraction.

I’m a “Perelmanite.” The ethical and communication standards of academia serve its social influence goals, not science.

We get the gist of natures mechanics and know how to measure generally. Further specialization of the syntax rarely moves the needle, which still points at Einstein, Gödel, and other century old works, rarely the contemporary librarians of scientific texts except to say “yeah this customization still preserves the whole of relativity” or some other core body of work we infer modern research form.

Perelman figured out Riemanns at home, alone. Bailed on university as he found it mired in politics and manipulation of social agency to preserve itself.

See that recent article about institutions becoming road blocks to the progress they were created to resolve. There’s been article after article here about science depts veering into pseudo-science. When a workers salary depends on them ignoring truth… “meat suit needs to eat” wins above honesty and integrity.

Science was never about the base nature of humanity. We remember it's successes and forget its foibles after they cease to be relevant.
