A modest proposal: Replace all social science professors with economists.
They have the methodological training and interests to fully replace sociology, political science, and much of anthropology, psychology, etc.
They're only moderately left leaning instead of being dogmatically so.
And there's currently a surge of economists desperate for work thanks to the government hiring freezes. Now is the perfect time to strike!
Notre Dame supplies a template for purging marxists from the academy. They formed a new "econometrics" department, gave them the courses that students actually need to take. Then after enrollment in the old "heterodox" econ department withered, they binned the entire thing. (Tenure only protects individual faculty; entire departments can still be shut down if they aren't financially viable.)

In fairness I have no idea what your riddle is getting at either. But the answer to all the "why are they bad at X" questions is "because they aren't actually intelligent".

I really enjoyed my Agape Ring run of DS2.
In short, you run a particular sequence at the start of the game, get the Agape Ring early on, and permanently lock your progression at the lowest tier of matchmaking (<40k souls collected).
I found it much better than new game+ for a good challenge.
Yeah I'm just used to having very explicit entry and exit stations from countries. I don't think I've ever seen anybody actually barred, but atleast a quick look at a passport before ushering people into international limbo.
Honestly vaguely worried I'm in some random DHS checklist as an overstayer even though I very much complied with my suggested itinerary.
