Thesis: Academia should be a haven from the world of business.

Antithesis: Academia should become more like business — be more results-driven and efficient.

Synthesis: Academia and business should be more like each other. Academia should continue to cultivate theoretical ideas, but apply, test and actualize the ideas in the practical realm — but business should also make itself more hospitable to intellectual life, starting with revisiting its fundamental theoretical and moral presuppositions.
