The book "The Opium of the Intellectuals" is a wake-up call that points to a painful truth: the more educated a person is, the more likely they are to be numbed by the "self-righteous correctness". This phenomenon is not unfamiliar in our daily lives, where we often see intellectuals treating their own views as absolute truth and their own stances as the only correct choice. Reason is hijacked by emotions and identity, and intellectuals fall into the quagmire of self-admiration and moral superiority. The book reveals why intellectuals fall into this state. On the one hand, intellectuals often regard their own views as absolute truth and refuse to accept different opinions. On the other hand, intellectuals often equate their identity (such as education, position, and social status) with their own value, leading to a sense of superiority and self-admiration. This phenomenon not only exists among intellectuals but also reflects the values of the entire society. "The Opium of the Intellectuals" is a severely critical book about intellectuals. Through in-depth analysis and criticism, the author reveals the root of intellectuals' self-admiration and moral superiority. At the same time, it provides us with an opportunity to re-examine ourselves and society. Let's click on the comment section, read more about this book, and explore together how the "opium" of intellectuals is produced.
