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.

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.
