Are we the real rogue academics?

[Anonymous No.16772140]

Bros, I've been thinking about this lately: are we in fact the rogue academics?
I see a lot of well read anons who post here. I see a lot of sophisticated discussion on philosophy. I see some talented fiction writers with wonderful prose.
I feel like we are in fact the real rogue academics. The environment of Academia is just too stuffy, sensitive, and petty. It only makes sense that the real ones, the ones who have always been prone to take time alone to write, find places like these refreshing and comforting.

Does this guy consider himself an academic of some sort? All the videos and essays I've watched/read of him are all full of obvious remarks and superficial analysis. I think he has still to proof himself if he want to larp at the levels he is larping.

tho i agree that lit academia has become disgustingly politicized, academias existance was never justified in the first place when it came to the arts. discussion about art is always stupid, bcuz art is never really about things you can talk about. you always have to go out of your way to make it about something that it isnt about to make it discussable. on lit its okay cuz it doesnt have the pretension of being anything more than the sincere thoughts of anons or monkey poo.

It's a huge institution backed by the government that has just seemingly raised tuition costs for the sole purpose of profit, and since they stand at the gates to the, supposedly, higher echelons of society, they act as a sort of pseudo-priestclass in the secular Western states. You can find curriculums online. You can all their books online for free.
The average person going to Uni for the humanities is completely braindead, only going in because of a vague notion of that's what you're supposed to do. No wonder companies nowadays are skimming over the dime-a-dozen humanities majors. Who would fall for a scam that obvious?

>But first, let’s nail down our terms. The great power center of 2008 is the Cathedral. The Cathedral has two parts: the accredited universities and the established press. The universities formulate public policy. The press guides public opinion. In other words, the universities make decisions, for which the press manufactures consent. It’s as simple as a punch in the mouth.

I understand, as you've stated, you don't know what you're talking about. But this statement is black (a lie) propaganda. You perform some dramatic mental gymnastics to come to this conclusion, and it's probably based on Moldbug's resistance to calling anyone a communist and prefers the term "reds".

You've been lied to, but you don't care.

Astonishing that there's a whole generation of people out there who base their entire worldviews off of what they're sold. Like damn, man. All those news networks, journals, publications, higher education, all things created to profit off of ideas. Complete Stockholm syndrome. What better way than to make sure that this cash cow keeps producing, never questioning the systems that were built for it, keeping it firmly attached on that conveyor belt to the slaughterhouse.
