I don't yet know how to say it, but I quit my PhD for the same reasons expressed by Grothendieck here. I'm not yet interested in talking about it; I feel confident and confused about it. Instead, more, I just felt the need to confess some small sympathy with the ideas expressed in these quotes.

I am one-quarter into "Disciplined Minds", a book by John Pilger. It looks like the author may be addressing similar issues. Have you perhaps read this book?

  Minor correction: Jeff Schmidt was the author. (http://disciplined-minds.com/ http://disciplined-minds.com/) (Just in case someone loses a couple minutes searching. :)
