Where the money is, knowledge thrives.
Knowledge must be sprinkled with money in order to develop.
Without investing a lot in knowledge production, like knowledge factories, all you get is repetition disguised as a novelty because the audience ignores the antecedent.
When thinkers are hungry, they spend most of their time insulting, criticizing, becoming bitter and bitter to the point of irrelevance.
It is sad to read thesis or articles in our universities that are presented as research products, ignoring that these problems were cornered a quarter of a century ago.
You have read philosophers presenting their supposed discoveries, which are but repetitions of debates of half a century.
Knowledge is not cheap. Ignorance is.
PS: In the tree of knowledge, there are thinkers, knowledge traders, and commentators.
Thinkers produce knowledge.
The merchants of knowledge are the intellectuals, they help to disseminate it by repackaging it or simply by repeating it formally.
Commentators are essayists and activists who interpret knowledge in the craziest way without any supervision or peer review.
But we don't have enough knowledge producers.
