Summary
Below are seven big ideas that you should take from this chapter. 1. Having a body of knowledge is important in any field. 2. Disagreement followed by academic discourse enables a field to evolve. 3. Silencing opposing views results in cognitive inbreeding. 4. Academic journals are essential for disseminating new knowledge and for academic discourse within a field. 5. The process used to get scholarly articles published in an academic journal is much higher than that used to get an article published in a newspaper or magazine. 6. Having a body of knowledge that is shallow and disjointed is not optimal for academic discussions or TV interviews. 7. John Stossel does not know what an academic journal is.
