Some people need to create a sort of elite club of the higher knowledge, in the academic's version of virtue signaling.
It takes a thespian, not an aristocrat, to build up an inventory of practical and stageworthy works, as you say. It's
simply common sense.
But these contrarians like to pretend that common sense is really unsubstantiated groupthink. I wonder if they even
believe the nonsense they spout. Their aim is to appear discerning and intellectual, and they think that depends on
disagreeing with popular views.
If you say "Red," they say "No, green."
And if you then say, "Okay, green," they'll say, "No, red." |
