In which department of human endeavour is it swiftliest forgotten that the purpose of those who ply it is ultimately *to render a service to folk-@-large* ?

It's academia , I do hereby venture. So so often they seem to be so utterly convinced that their only purpose - indeed & their essential purpose - is merely to traffic amongst themselves in the various glyphs that they've devised.

Actually, their function is to inform & exalt the cognitive functionality, & the 'landscape' of thoughforms, of the Folk-@-Large … but they habitually completely forget that.
