The projectors, who value theory above all else, aren’t assessing the practicality of their experiments and are thus blissfully blind to their projects’ blatant futility, though this futility is plainly apparent to Gulliver. Swift’s description of the academy is also a not-so-subtle attack on the newly founded Royal Academy in contemporary London, an institution Swift felt was uselessly devoted to abstract knowledge. The projectors continue to devote themselves to projects that are, as Gulliver and the reader can see, a waste of time. The projects are worse than useless. The implementation of these projectors’ theories would only hinder society, not help it. Women, who lack the men’s abstract knowledge, are the only citizens with the common sense perspective to resist the projectors’ plans.
