Life in a hierarchy can be hell, too many people more interested in their position and path than in the people and the purpose for which the hierarchy is supposed to exist.
This started out as an attempt to give a new twist to our idea of the ivory tower. I see tat their are two kinds of specialists: those who undertake development and those who just reuse the pieces of the past every time they are asked to produce a new course, say. One might expect universities to be full of the development specialists, but this is not so, and some subjects are unable to produce anything really new because they cannot absorb much new thought.
Life in non-development hierarchies can be hell.
So, welcome to the inside of the ivory tower, where the beauty is too often nothing more than skin deep.
