Would good like a1000 times.
Imagine being SH:
Your CV is impressive:
- Abitur 1,3
- A number of nice professorships (Bonn, Magdeburg, Hannover) in the 1990s
- Celebrated as a "Wunderkind" in economics in the 1980s and 1990s
- Member of important federal commissions in Germany in the 1990s and 2000s
(https://www.fiwi.uni-hannover.de/homburg.html)
- Some nice publications (CJE, JPubE, JITE) until 2000
Then, the abyss: no one seems to care about your publications, your counsel, your opinions. Even worse, you are now the punching bag of RR and others, of younger scholars who overtake you left and right.
The last refugee: Twitter and interviews with "Alternative Medien" and criminal complaints about the "Systemmedien" (https://mobile.twitter.com/SHomburg/status/1268104249155584000) and ... finally, again: thunderous applause ... you have stared into the abyss long enough that the abyss stares back at you, it stares with the face of a thousand AfD voters.
