Q drew out the “humble savant servants” to combat the arrogant academic masters. There was no reputation or cash or positional benefit, just a pure love of truth. This sets up a total reordering of the intellectual power structure of society down the road.
As a uni prof for 20+ years I witnessed and experienced the slaughter of freedom of thought in academia. The cia has had intellectuals wrapped up at least since it was the OSS. Intellectual freedom is a fantasy. There is only controlled narrative. Anything outside that narrative is starved out and ignored. There will have to be a monumental upheaval to change this. I hope for it.
I live in a university community and have found the academics (not all but most that I've known) are some of the very worst. It's shocking really. Just yesterday I mentioned to one (who recently retired) that the Federal Reserve was a private bank not a federal institution. That was brand new info to her. Shocking and disturbing.
