Yeah, getting tenured is huge. Lifetime job security. Noted NYU scholar Lefty Ruggiero put it like this:

Undercover agent: "Lefty, I understand how we all like to get respect for our intellect. But what is the actual advantage of getting tenured?"

Lefty: "Are you kidding? What the....Donnie, don't you tell this guy nothing?
Tony, as a tenured professor you can lie, you can cheat, you can steal, you can rip off people's research and ruin their careers: LEGITIMATELY.
You can do any goddamn thing you want, and nobody can say anything about it. Who wouldn't want to be tenured?"


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
