They live their career in academia and are surrounded by leftism. Universities are so suffused with Leftism and they are not immune to the influence of others and would be somewhat ostracized for thinking differently or independently. When I went to college, "critical thinking" always meant taking the left side of any argument. It was laughable.

And are largely insulated from the real world along with the day to day consequence for those on the receiving end of their great ideas.
Talk with the "working" advance degree holders / educated and a different point of view emerges.
Idealism vs reality

I'll wager the vast majority of scientists are employed by private companies.
