“Why, anybody can have a brain. That’s a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have! But they have one thing you haven’t got - a diploma.”

But many a man was taught by high minded professors that he must think within “the box of dreams”
Global warming is a fine example.
Empirical evidence is dismissed out of hand.
