      There certainly seems to be plenty of examples that as soon as critics of the establishment join them, then they become them. Conspiracy?

      Conspiracy seems different from corporate-military-industrial hegemony. Or whatever one calls it.

      I disagree it is also an deeper psychological ailment. I had an highly intelligent friend that went down the deep end on climate change.

      Highly intelligent doesn't necessarily mean deeply read with a sound sense of history and historical context.

      Well educated people tend to be intelligent and vice-versa. A generalisation but generally true as well

      Well, yes and no. I know an farmer who I consider one of the wisest and intelligent persons I know. He has 9 years of school.

      And wise, intelligent people aren't necessarily well versed in humanities, history, classical tradition, science-hist., etc.

      So what makes them wise if they are not well versed in humanities etc etc? Wisdom is knowledge that we dont have That's what makes them wise

      I think of ascetics living in caves, some hermit types, certain poet geniuses, or, like my mom--basically unread and yet wise.

      I think of many academics in the humanities who aren't remotely wise but complete loons.

          Yep, and I would argue that they have not read their Homer, Sappho, Shakespeare, and Austen in a spirit of humility and gratitude.

          Indeed not. They'll usually read them in order to be outraged at patriarchal heteronormative cissexism.

          but also intelligent enough to become an academic in the first place. But the question was whether intelligence was needed to be wise

          There's probably overlap. Intelligence as computing data, wisdom as understanding our place in the cosmos? Not sure of etymologies...
