Mental gymnastics is not even an Olympic sport yet, but the “smart” people are practicing anyway.

Some very intelligent people are at the same time horribly wrong in their world view. But they have had years of thought and study to obtain and back up that wrong thinking.

Climate change is real, man made climate change is a fraud.

Anyone who attends Harvard these days is not "Smart."

Anyone who attend Harvard these days is indoctrinated.

Anyone who attends Harvard these days is also a fool for paying many tens of thousands of dollars to be indoctrinated, instead of freely educated.

in other words, thoise who attend Harvard these days are slowly and precisely emotionally enslaved to American Marxist ideology.

Mark Levin reveals how all of this is happening in his new , well researched book, it has over 400 footnotes, " American Marxism."

There are few places of genuine learning and free enquiry these days. Hillsdale College is one.

Weather varies. The problem is that stupid humans think that weather should be steady, predictable, and without extremes. Mother Nature disagrees. Humans refuse to believe that there can be extremes and do not prepare for the extremes. When the extreme weather happens, as it always does, humans act as if it’s a complete surprise.

I worked for decades at Harvard Medical School's largest teaching hospital. Each June all the students,physicians and surgeons moved up one step on the career ladder...student to intern,intern to junior resident,junior resident to senior resident,etc. The new interns were always the top graduates of the world's top medical schools...including Harvard Medical School.

We always laughed at how easy it was to pick out the Harvard grads from graduates of other schools because they were the ones who could talk to you about the uvula for six hours (non-stop!) but were clueless if you handed them a pop up umbrella.

When you realize that “Harvard” is the most preeminent hard core atheist institution in the world, then you understand why the faculty are so self absorbed.

They don’t believe in God, but will believe in everything else. For them, power and control of the little people is all that matters. They fear individualism.

These “professors” are the modern day Hebrews who built the golden calf after the exodus.

Harvard was founded as a seminary by Puritans in 1636.

Nothing has changed—it is still run by fanatical “believers” ready to burn any witches.

Today they worship the Woke Pantheon (which includes the Goddess of Climate Change).

Heretics shall be hunted down and publicly shamed!

“Smart” as compared to what?

Some folks are very quick to grasp some things. Like Xiaoma and other language freaks, they can pick up a conversational level of a language in a few hours.
Some are exceedingly well read and are familiar with broad, cross discipline ideas and concepts. Folks like VDH, Pat Buchanan, Patton, and recent discovery Malice come to mind.

Some like folks at distinguished institutions of higher learning are locked inside closed or highly restricted feedback loops that simply justify what they previously learned and now push out onto the next group of young minds.

During the late 70s, many towns along the Mosel River were flooded, due to a "100 year flood."

Some 40 years later, they're enduring another "100 year flood." What gives?

Philosophical inbreeding has the same effect as its biological twin.

In a survival situation, you would be far better off throwing in with a group of well-armed grade-school educated Southerners than a group of Northeastern Ivy-League educated wimps who don’t even know how to load a gun (if they had one) and wouldn’t know the first thing about field-dressing a deer.

One of the serious potential downsides of much higher education is the development in the individual of an unhealthy level of confidence. Many of these folk tend to be often in error, and never in doubt. If there is one thing that I have learned in my trips around the sun it is that I have a lot to learn.

I think a lot of ambitious people go to Harvard, and they learn that to be part of the ruling class they need to be WOKE.

“That is, do the people who score at the top on standardized tests and then turn up at the fancy universities actually have a superior level of reasoning and rationality that they can apply to solving the problems of the world?”

Absolutely yes. Indisputably.

They arrive that way and leave stupid.

“You don’t get to go there unless you are at the very top of the top of intelligence.”

And that is pure bullsh!t.

No reason to even read the rest.
