Why Academics will never understand Populism

I mostly refers to Academics in the fake social 'sciences'. The exceptions are those involved in physical sciences and technical areas. Academics in Social Sciences, like Sociology and <X> Studies, are a Brahman/Priestly class that complement the elites of Global Corporate Capital. Priestly classes have always helped elites through ideological control of the masses - some things never change.

What to read, watch or listen to?

The Stoics would agree that everything we do should have a point/goal. Marcus and Seneca write beautifully about this, so go do a Google search on them, I'll wait... ... It's a sad fact that we don't have time to read and inform ourselves as much as we would like, therefore we need to prioritise. Those projects which align with the meaning of Life should be prioritizes. When reading about a particular topic you should be looking for information that advances that project. You do not need to know everything or even have a completely correct or accurate understanding - you can be flat out ignorant or wrong about certain things; what helps you pursue your cause is all that matters. The point of learning is to change the world, not mere collecting knowledge.
