Not your comment.
You said something like , "summary please" and I summarized what the said.
They also say artist are worthless for revolution and change.
The essay itself is incredibly out of touch with historical evidence.
Colleges and universities students, artists, and musicians were many of the leaders for change. They helped rally the people and spread awareness and unite the people.
It's true they weren't that instrumental during the industrial revolution.
Because they didn't really exist. And it was union leaders and laborers that caused change then.
But that was a very long time ago.
I'm not saying every academic or artist is virtuous or knows what's best. There are plenty of shitty out of touch ones.
Lots of upper class people have limited understanding of what the world is like for the rest of us.
But also. Less and less rich kids go into academia (become professor). Largely due to the actual work needed to get a PhD. Nepo babies aren't going to do that much work. And with professorships not paying that well anymore, they just aren't going into these positions. They go and work for tech bros. Industry jobs that pay 300k a year.
There are some of these out of touch people still at universities, . But the trend is changing.
Can you boil all that down in simple terms?
Already did.
There is a lot of spacing but I didn't write much.
