Now, why is that? Is it because intellectuals are dumb?

00:00:02.426 --> 00:00:07.946
No. It's because many intellectuals operate in an ecosystem that is perfectly

00:00:08.026 --> 00:00:11.606
decoupled from the autocorrective slap of reality, right?

4
00:00:11.686 --> 00:00:16.626
So I can sit up as a humanities professor in my tweed jacket and say that up is down,

00:00:16.706 --> 00:00:21.906
left is right, men are women, and then I'm hailed as a great thinker of lesbian dance

00:00:28.206 --> 00:00:31.766
I go upward the more insane my ideas are, right?
