To become a liberal, one must fail at some point in the thought process.
Hardly a 'major intellect'.
I predicted Trump would win and won a hundred dollar bet (still not paid off). I also predicted Kameltoe for VP. Does that make me a 'major intellect'?
That doesn't. But other things do, I'll admit.
I'm not impressed in the least by Mr. Scott Adams. The only reason anybody listens to him is cause he wrote a comic strip.
I will grant him 'clever' and 'humorous'.

Well I agree with the first sentence, but not the last one. Clever and humorous described Johnny Carson—Scott Adams just doesn’t measure up compared to Johnny.
Well, anybody can make a living out of engineer jokes (even 'puter engineers, who are considered flakes by us Big Honkin' Machine types) has either got something going for him or his readers are all goofy.....or 'puter engineers, which is sameoh/sameoh.
>>failed the intellectual test when you defined him as a liberal
I think we’ve had this conversation before late at night. I don’t understand how each individual comes to their personal decisions because I don’t understand the forces that caused them to become that individual. I respect intelligence even when different starting points lead to different endings.
Working at IBM Research and working in human factors for those years made me think a great deal about the mind. That video I did interviewing our greatest scientists about the one that they all respected moved me along that line because his mind SEEMED almost chaotic, but resulted in some of our greatest break thrus. He used to think I understood him and would pin me against a corridor wall and talk at me and then walk away while I stared after him. That’s why I violated all the video standards and just had him rambling for a full minute in the final video. Minds are, indeed, strange things.
I don’t accept that brilliant minds come up with all correct answers, but I also don’t believe that all minds must lead to the same answers. That’s why I believe in individual truths. Mine are conservative. Adams seems to have a more mixed bag. So I’ll respect his abilities while disagreeing with his conclusions.
So I think that again, Baggie, we’ll simply have to respect one another and differ.
Fondly, Mary
