Yes, it is sad! It is not the fault of the people, but clearly the system has serious issues.
It pains me that everyone is keeping silent, and even simple questions are not welcome about regarding what this system is doing for us.
This lack of curiousity about our own science system itself is the most unscientific attitude you can imagine.
Talking about this issue, quickly gets you labelled as a subversive, here I thought it was up to scientists to investigate and experiment to find better solutions.
