Academics play an important, but largely subconscious, role in rationalising & defending the system which employs & favours them.

This is especially important for social scientists to recognise, because they are seen as authorities on understanding society & the state.
Q. How can #SocialScienceAcademics develop an objective understanding of society & the state, when they themselves are so dependent on them?

A. They can't.

But they could develop a far more objective understanding, if they recognised & understood this.
This is what we urgently need the #SocialSciences to do, & the only way to go about it is for them to develop an evolutionary, i.e. sociobiological, perspective, which currently they have a taboo against doing - an overreaction to Nazi social Darwinism.
