Lilienfeld on academia's grant culture:

"Faculty members receive plaudits for receiving grants but frequently find that their scholarly accomplishments go largely unnoticed. These reinforcement contingencies should strike us as odd for several reasons. First, we do not laud novelists or film producers for securing large contracts for their planned projects, nor should we. Instead, we rightly acclaim them if and when they have generated high-quality artistic work" https://doi.org/10.1177/1745691616687745
