Friend took me for coffee, to talk. Him: Wife and I are having a baby. Your kids seem cool. Parenting--how do you do it? Any tips? Me: Whenever you see a stack of free paper napkins take a big handful. Him: Me: Him: That's it? Me: It is the only thing I am sure of.

My advice for the academic job market is to leverage synergy by circling back to deliverables. By focusing on core competencies, you can ideate, pivot, and punt your way to scalability. Optimize mission critical quick wins through disruption. Why is this so hard for people?

This is an ancient, tired critique of academia that pretends there was a time when every professor was busting out world-changing ideas and discoveries. But pathbreakers have always been few, with incrementalists in their wake. That's how knowledge production works.

This article wasn't the place to go into it, but, we need to face a difficult truth in academia: Original thought—truly original, creative research ideas—are extremely rare now. Scholarship is mostly careerist incrementalism, the profession deserves sneers for it.
