Y'know I really don't like the anti-intellectual flavour of some of the comments in here.
'professional thinkers who are quite out of touch with the thoughts and language of those they seek to change'.
'professional thinkers' who have studied and worked and sacrificed to get where they are and to build the understanding they have. What we know of their thoughts are filtered through to us from the understanding of their student. None of us know whether Ibs' professors are/were 'out of touch' with ordinary people and language. Don't confuse someone's academic understanding of a particular subject with their wider understanding of humanity.
They're not locked in at night. They are people in the world just like anybody else.
