In this chapter, the author takes a ride through the intellectual climate of the 1960s, where the counterculture movement was in full swing. He discusses how this shift in the cultural landscape had a profound impact on academic institutions, which suddenly found themselves out of touch with the cool kids. This, in turn, led to a devaluation of personal experience and intuition in favor of dry, rational analysis.

But fear not, dear reader, for the author brings some much-needed levity to this discussion with his musings on the concept of Quality. In his own words, Quality is "a pattern of events that creates meaning." And while the establishment may have ignored this elusive concept, the author suggests that it's essential to all endeavors, including intellectual pursuits.
