    I’m not sure I can think of one public intellectual who isn’t in some (often obvious) way full of shit. I used to think that said something about the type of person who stives for the position. And it does. But now I mostly think it’s inevitably induced by the position itself.

        Yeah I think that, when somebody is constantly told how smart they are and are held up as some shining example of intellectual, they start to lose context and believe that they know everything - even for things way outside their speciality.

        It’s both I think. The kinds of people who seek that find their motivations reinforced.

        Yea it def is both. I guess I should say the I believe the position’s info environment dominates. Grab a random person and put them in that position by magic, they’ll get disoriented just the same.

        I sometimes wonder if I'd be as annoyed by classical philosophers if they were on Twitter as I am by the people you're talking about.

        How about @tylercowen? I generally agree though, popularity and nuance (or even just restraint from commenting on things you're clueless about) don't exactly go together.
