Anatomy of the State - Rothbard
Summary about the "intelletuals"
intellectuals help legitimize the state by portraying its power, taxation, and policies as necessary or beneficial to society. Because the free market may not reward their services as generously, securely, or prestigiously, they can become dependent on state patronage and align themselves with the ruling elite that controls public funds and money creation.
In germany there is a prominent "scientist" I once admired. Harald Lesch. He used to have a TV show about Cosmos stuff very early in the morning. As a child I loved it and he triggered my curiosity. I am thankful for that. But now, he is a system sheep. Cause they pay him 😉
Nowerdays Id rather listen to kindergarten children than him.
