No truly great and serious intellectual, psychologist, philosopher would work in uni

The jungle does not really pay them for their work. At least, in a farm, they can collect their harvest and sell them. Or teach meditation (safer in a farm than a jungle)

The universities are already a farm where they teach sheep to be sheep.

Well yeah but if the psychologist or philosopher still have serious intellectual skills, he will know what university pay more in general unless he can come up with a workshop for his teachings and milk even more money?

Of course great philosopher maybe don't care about money anymore so they can die poor or die crazy like Nietzsche.

Why are people so afraid of society?  All this talk of being an original, independent thinker, not brainwashed by the herd; when taken to this extreme, is just narcissism and autism. You can make a meaningful and tangible contribution to the human project, or you can hide out in your ivory tower of highfalutin masturbatory non-existence. What is really the most courageous, virtuous, conscious and loving option if you have the choice? The Bodhisattva chose to be a sheep.

Don't get too dismissive of universities. Good work is done there. It's just not paradigm-shattering work because there is huge pressure to be a team player.

A Bodhisattva is not playing that game.
