The sheer amount of scholar literature that is worth reading, but almost nobody will ever read, except a few experts, makes one question what's the point of writing even more. No wonder we are all becoming hyper-specialists, it seems like an inevitability in today's academic world to be able to do anytthing original (although likely minor) that's not bound to have been done already. Being a generalist is quite the challenge. #academicchatter
This is why physicists and many academics more broadly have no tolerance for crackpots, people "who did their own research", and people who are quick to claim some big problems have easy fixes. There's no short-circuit. You need to learn your shit and academic research field the deep, hard way before making any bold claim or even suggestion.
