> never felt as little intellectual freedom

What are the other things you have done, in which you have felt more intellectual freedom?

> stochastic kabuki

I love this description of academic politics, thank you.

I've worked as a "nonacademic" professional as well after my degree but before my faculty position. There there was less time for research but any research was highly encouraged. I also ironically felt more freedom as a grad student and postdoc for similar reasons.
