    I unfortunately don’t have any sources, but a few years ago I read or watched a video about an interview with a paleontologist who was asked about their opinion of the first sign of civilization

    Their answer was “a fossil of a skeleton with a broken and healed leg”

    Every other animal dies with a broken leg in nature, the only way to survive is with the support of others

    One lecturer actually had notes on their slides for the differences between the latest version of the course book and the one before it, since the latest one wasn’t available for free anywhere but they wanted to use couple chapters from the new book (they scanned and distributed the relevant parts themself)

    I feel like most of the academia in the research side would be happy to see it collapse, but the current system is too deeply tied in the money for any quick change

    I worked in academia for almost a decade and never met a researcher who wouldn’t openly support sci-hub (well, some warned their students that it was illegal to type these spesific search terms and click on the wrong link downloading the pdf for free)
