This also kinda makes me think back to how most of the influential thinkers we know didn’t make their impact in the structures we know today. Makes me wonder if most of the prestige and “remnants” of those eras are actually just competitive pressure cookers that may not provide the environment anymore for the achievements they once enabled.

People in the Education field have known that stress hampers learning for a long time ... but it's still nice to see empirical results.

I wonder if it helps explain in part why the Publish or Perish culture is wrecking science and stalling scientific progress. The stressful environment it tends to create it's not conductive to learning and thinking in depth.
