There's a misunderstanding. Not surprising because I'm terrible with words.
I'm glad you're here and I'm sure there are a lot like you.

I'm expressing my surprise that there are so many reticences among the
intellectual professions, at least in France and Argentina where I made
my little personal investigation.
I would naively expect a massive participation from them, on the
supposition that they share a vocation for sharing knowledge and a
passion to learn from others. And indeed some do. I have the impression,
however, that they're a minority. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
If it needs to be precised, I try to never communicate to impose
personal convictions but to ask questions and provoke thoughts in the
hope of deeper questions.
