So what have our intellectuals done?
2017-07-07
I
firmly believe that our intellectuals have taken us, the ordinary man,
woman, and child on the street, away from reality. They tend to
obfuscate, to dissipate the truth in a horde of profundities that read
into something without getting anything out. The same can be said of
every other field that has succumbed to these intellectuals: the law,
science, philosophy, even religion. Without letting this prejudice my
stance for or against them, let me come out with it: I don’t claim to
know half of what the experts do. This isn’t a harangue against them,
rather an attempt at finding out how our intellectual discourse has, and
has not, helped us out as a country.
