No, its not difficult for professors to pretend to understand that students have different
skill sets, learning patterns, etc. Its the common trend lately to revere the complex,
venerate the ignorance of absolutes. The jock shocks who attack multiculturalism, right
to the door of the Presidency, God. Time was when a Scientist was an inspiration in simple.
Now many professionals treat outsiders with "its too complex for you to understand", I
was taught that was a sign of laziness and/or bureaucracy, a road sign of what to
expect ahead, that you have no rights power workers ahead. As governments have turned acts
of citizens into a financial transaction for the good of globalization, while tenure has
been dissolved for the bottom line, hell even charity has become 'work', everyone now is a
worker. Who says USSR lost! Big government now invades our lives, news speak routinely
makes out to be a good citizen you must be a tool for the rich elite. Design, like art,
is about free expression, love. When you're paid for love then you become a prostitute
to the customers whim. You want good design pay researchers for the love of their subject,
measure them not on the number of papers but on their peers respect for the elegance and
delivery of the underlying ideas.
Segregate and separate the researchers from the experts by a well regarded teaching
layer. The push for the almighty dollar and 'better' utilize academics is one
on the many features of our big government socialist capitalist experiment.
Why no Einsteins? No great cogs that quickly transition us from one global
paradigm to the next. Simple, bureaucrats taking more power to the central archive
(alla 1984).
Exactly. Science becomes a heap smarter when there is real necessity banging on the door. Every major advance, the simple beautiful relationships have come at times of great cultural and social change. Society is forced to accept new ways that require new justifications to fit into citizens meager religious viewpoints and only the simplest of recurring notions can breach through. Science, like society, has been living off cheap energy and the ensuing ease bureaucracy provides. The simplifiers and dejargonizers are drowned out. Complexity is their mantra, they point to their own ineptitude in the face of the 'complexity' of the world as a justification to them continuing as experts (classically religion but found all too often in lazy scientists).
