re: Why most academics lean left

No. Reality is reality. Theories are different ways to attempt to interpret reality.

The utopian world academics envision is typically buttressed by theories that work better on paper or in a vacuum than out in what we all know as reality. Given that their livelihood is dependent upon the government, it's not surprising that most of their theories favor big government as well.

But, no, theories are not "how things start the process of coming into reality."

These 'intellectuals' are caught up in the group-think that = "if only the world worked this way, everything would be easy." They are constantly looking for the anti-gravity machine or the perpetual motion system.

Yep - some things would work easier if stuff didn't fall on the floor - BUT a multitude of OTHER things would all go to shite.

These "progressives" only congratulate themselves on their ideas that only work in zero gravity - and describe as "hateful" anyone who points out all the problems that a world without gravity would entail.

They are 'smart' in the context of being able to expound for hours on the benefits of their zero gravity world, using big words and complex equations and flowery rhetoric, but cannot or will not engage with those grubby 'haters' who ask real questions about harms that it would entail.
