James C. Scott is a good illustration of 'no skin in the game' syndrome among intellectuals.
It would be very persuasive to see him personally bolting for freedom between warring warlords in present-day Libya, or improving his welfare in lawless mafia-ruled cities of ex-Soviet Union in the 1990s.
But no such chance, so his views may be safely ignored.
