Just came back from one of the scientific conferences we organize at work (www.abitarelediversita.org if you are interested). Topic was complexity related to intercultural communicatio/competence. I am very pleased to report that, for the very first time, I've seen some academia with a future-leaning outlook, recognizing some of the real problems and starting to look at the right solutions (decentralization, diffuse knowledge, open source and the like). Might be obvious for many of us here on Nostr, but trust me, it is groundbreaking in academia.
I was particularly pleased to have a conversation with one prominent Italian professor (now retired). One of those we call "barons" in Italy. Well he is starting a lot of open source, decentralized projects and he told me "this is the future of human knowledge!" Anothe one (extremely famous all over the world in his field) decided to stop selling his most famous book to distribute it as CC. Reason? "Knowledge must flow".
There might be hope for humanity after all.
