"The university intellectuals play an important role in carrying on the systems trick. Though they like to fancy themselves independent thinkers, the intellectuals are the most over socialised, the most conformist, the tamest most domesticated, the most pampered, dependent, and spineless group today. As a result, their impulse to rebel is particularly strong. But because they are incapable of independent thought, real rebellion is impossible for them. Consequently they are suckers for the systems trick, which allows them to irritate people and enjoy the illusion of rebelling without ever having to challenge the systems basic values"
