    So which one is it: round up all the intellectuals and cast them out to carry out farm labour, or let them sit in their ivory tower and read theory?

      Your point was “No adult reads Marx!”, which I disproved readily with people of status and learned people that do.

      The funny thing is that one of the professors does actually carry out farm labour, as they are involved in international brigades and works for 30 years for food security with sustainable practices in precarious countries. Did quite a bit of their study in AES countries, too.

      I would start with casting you out to do farm labour (which you seem so into) and also having to read/discuss various things, too.
