As the academic you are, I would hope that you would want to see academic knowledge brought into the public sphere more, so that what could be considered inappropriate forms of treatment in the real world can be adapted to a changing society. If you would prefer to keep separate the academic world and the practical one, it is certainly within your power to do so. But surely such a place as academia relies on what is going on in society to inform its research. Otherwise, all research would become an academic excercise, not based in reality. Maybe you would just prefer to keep the riff-raff off this list - this list - though not encourage all lists to do the same. Sort of a compromise in mindfulness.
