There is a mental disorder component to all these liberal academicians with PhDs. It may by sense of guilt for being wealthy. It may be something else. But they are irrational people.
Маша, i disagree with you here.. the academia is very rational about it.. they like their own place in the socialistic society where they have all the prestige paid by other people forcefully and their ideas advanced and imposed on people by the government.. where in a free society, they have trouble convincing free people to do anything they wish..
we already discussed it many time in the topic on intellectuals..
