It is also a sign of wisdom and maturity to not care so much, especially outside academia.
I know your reaction is the normal one these days, but I’d like to normalize the ones that don’t care about society petting them on the head and saying atta boy. They just deliver the work and retreat into the darkness. I find it highly inspiring. The alternative.. not so much.
Agreed. This is what real research looks like. Not publish or perish. Not going after a bunch of grants. Just doing the work and getting results. Sadly this is this antithesis of modern academia.
