Cult of the Irrelevant
By Jessica D. Blankshain, Strategy Bridge: "The Beltway and the Ivory Tower—these two colloquialisms evoke images of secluded elites, cut off from reality, focused on their own narrow interests.

In the latter, we envision elbow-patched professors on secluded college campuses pondering theory for the sake of theory, unconcerned with real-world applications."
