Except there is nothing intellectual about it. It's an article about what somebody believes GS was doing/thinking during the World War II and a couple of anecdotes. If you already know the premises (GS was a Jewish writer who lived in Vichy France where she also worked as a propagandist) you end the article like you started, knowing nothing more. Besides, all "modernists" have done is produce __trash__ and it will be remembered as such no matter how deeply the humanities try to paint it as intellectual and deep, it will never reach the level of Caravaggio, Velazques, Rubens, Cervantes and the like. Nope, it will be forgotten because it's neither beautiful nor good in any objective sense. It's not that tech/STEM people are intellectually empty, many people in STEM simply don't buy the bullshit.
