So he's saying don't go to industry and waste your talents in intellectually lame projects, instead come do a PhD, it's more stimulating and rewarding. But what happens when the students get their PhD? There's very few academic jobs, they're gonna go back to industry no? And at some point in the write up he also says academia sucks, so I'm confused as to what his suggestion is, it seems to me that either way you are a servant doing "grad student descent", only that in academia you get to claim to have a bigger intellectual dick, but in industry you have more money. It feels like there's no good alternative.
