[MD] An inquiry into morals

[Akshay Peshwe]

Platt, yes, I do think that it is a social pattern trying to devour an
intellectual one. Politicians (at least the ones in India) like to make
intellectually awe-inducing speeches, so that people do not think twice
while putting their trust in them (most people don't even think much
anyway), whereas their real intentions do not relate to true intellectualism
but only to using the "respect" of the intellect in society to get private
benefit.
