By far the most dangerous people are those who are below average but do not recognise it.

Canem Malum,

That’s a lot of nested abstraction for a post warning about nested abstraction.

If we’re talking about a “coup over society” by academia, it would help to ground it in at least one clear, real-world example:

What specific decision, policy, or institution are you saying failed because of this over-theorising?

And how did academic influence make that outcome worse?

Otherwise, it risks sounding like the very “abstraction built upon abstraction” you’re criticising.
