to add to this, i think part of the social disconnect is due to age gaps. in history classes i have taken, especially at a college level, the professor is a lot older and designs the curriculum. so for them, abu ghraib and the war on terror might feel super recent, but to us as students, it wasn’t recent enough for us to live through it. idk if it’s just bc it was the turn of the century and it’s easy to cut off but a lot of history classes cut off at the latest in the 90s and maybe have a cursory overview of the 2000s

I have a friend that works as a mechanical engineer and they literally have someone whose entire job is to take the engineering words and process it so normal people can understand what they're saying. I feel like we need more of them

i think that's why science communication is so important, people that can translate academia to the average person without watering down the topic too much are wizards in my eyes

This is a really good point a lot of people miss. Very important to note for academics. Spoken from someone in academia

What I learned at university is that the working class is a theoretical entity for most people in academia (not denying their ideas)

I’m connected enough to the people that I know that they don’t know what’s best for themselves. A lot of their problems are really self inflicted

“GDP Number go up good” economics is a big example of academics having gaps in both
