So do you think this statement applies to CG?

"But I basically suspect intellectuals. I distrust our motives. I don’t think intellectuals always know what’s good, and we like to think we know what’s good. To use the Book of Mormon phrase, we often do things because it sustains our craft. Intellectuals want to make sure that people keep arguing and keep reading and keep writing. And that isn’t necessarily the best or at least only good way to live. Anyone who’s spent any time around universities will know that smart people can say the dumbest things."
