Being an old salesman I'm far from an expert but based on my observations alone I have an opinion about the state of science and academia generally. To the layman it looks like their sole purpose for being is to discount others' work. Much like lawyers, they expend their energies arguing their cases in academic courtrooms. Full of sound and fury but signifying nothing. They're mostly hacking at the branches in an effort at relevance. Job security.
