The businessman, historically, had started as the victim of the

intellectuals; but no injustice or exploitation can succeed for long without

the sanction of the victim. The businessman, who could not accept the

intellectual leadership of post-Kantian Witch Doctors, made his fatal error

when he conceded to them the field of the intellect. He gave them the benefit

of the doubt, at his own expense: he concluded that their meaningless

verbiage could not be as bad as it sounded to him, that he lacked

understanding, but had no stomach for trying to understand that sort of stuff

and would leave it respectfully alone. No Witch Doctor could have hoped

for a deadlier concession.
