Why do intellectuals tend to identify with left-wing ideologies?
Intellectuals play a crucial role in society, yet they can also pose a threat. This video delves into the intellectual's unfamiliarity with wealth creation, their misconceptions about the market economy, their Marxist underpinnings, their arrogance, and their exploitation of their social influence. It also examines the intellectual's obsession with material possessions, their hostility towards free markets, their self-righteous moralism, their distorted perception of reality, their dissemination of misinformation, their self-proclaimed role as guardians of beauty, their crusade against kitsch, their betrayal of individual liberty, their perilous pursuit of power, and their contribution to human suffering.
Bertrand de Jouvenel, a renowned French philosopher and political economist, offers insightful analysis of the intellectual mindset, their power and influence, and their role in society. He contends that intellectuals often succumb to a combination of arrogance, ignorance, and a lust for power. This leads them to advocate for ideologies detrimental to society, such as socialism, Marxism, and government intervention in the economy.
This video is essential viewing for anyone seeking to comprehend the intellectual mind and its impact on society. It serves as a powerful indictment of the intellectual elite and their perilous pursuit of power.
