This is how close mindedness reflect in the academic setting, like how Alex mentioned that quite a few physicists deem many topics, like philosophy, to be unworthy.
If we imagine there’s good philosophy and bad philosophy, and the good philosophy is hard to find, then maybe people will write it off as ‘not worth looking for’ and spend their time on something else that’s easier to get into or work with, whether that’s physics or something else. It’s certainly more easy for me to explain the benefits of physics/science than philosophy.
