It describes academic activity that mimics the form of rigorous inquiry — papers, talks, titles, committees — but lacks real intellectual or clinical impact. In other words: > *The imitation of academic productivity, driven by optics, metrics, or politics rather than truth-seeking.* ==== 🧠Examples in neurosurgery or academia ==== * Presenting flashy results at conferences with no follow-up or real-world application * Writing papers to fill a CV, not to change practice or advance understanding * Using complex jargon to obscure the lack of meaningful insight * Forming committees or task forces that exist to be seen, not to solve problems ---- > **Academic theater is when the form of science survives but its soul is gone.** academic_theater.txt Last modified: 2025/06/15 18:49by administrador
