Interesting. I’m not a member of the academy, but I work for a think tank outside of it, and after a career building technnology companies. So I feel that I have my feet in two worlds so to speak.. Throughout my life in business I was told I should teach in the academy, and in the academy that I should build companies – so I decided to do both. Because the political nature of the academy is offensive, and the opportunity to conduct research by building businesses both more interesting, and more rewarding in every sense.

But the minds of these two occupations are quite different. Even in business I ran my management teams,, and even the entire company like a grad student seminar for future entrepreneurs, and I attribute the success of my companies and the many startups and carees founded by my employees to doing so.

But when I read academic literature, particularly before the destruction of the academy in the postwar period, i recognize those minds as familiar – and decidedly more moral than those of academics today, whho instead, appear to be more bureaucratically, politically or economically driven in everything they say and do.

So the academy not only took over the church, but abandoned the church’s mission, and the postwar activists not only took over the academy, but abandined the academy’s mission. When the church’s mission was to produce a moral society, and the academy’s mission was to produce a moral state administration. And the result is we have neither a moral citizenry nor a moral admnistration of state – for the simple reason that the postwar revolt against the west by the ‘march through the institutions of western cultural production’ has been so successful we are on the verg of a dark age of behavioral, economic, and political pseudoscience by the zealotry of sophistry, that lacked the single moral virtue of the christianity of our previous dark age: personal responsibility for self private and common.

There are a few of us moral men left.
But no criminal, seditionist, treasonist or conspiracy of converstion to a dysfunctional religion, will give up their enterprise without the threat of punishment if they do not.

And words can convince the moral. But how many of us remain who are moral and responsible and able, compared to those that live under the illusion they are so?

Enough maybe.
I hope.
