Just as long as you stop saying things are true when you have no idea if they are or not, we can be friends.

I don't have much time for wanna be expert know nothings.

Now you have a good day. Oh, and pay more attention to things going on and you may learn to speculate, infer, and connect the dots. Just don't commit the intellectual sin of thinking you know things that you don't.

Its fun to use your brain.

Now you run along now, and be a good boy.

Its fun to use your brain.

I recommend it highly. Doing so regularly will provide you with the insight that the simplest explanation is nearly always the correct explanation. As I've said, I understand your desire to bring some excitement into an otherwise humdrum life with the thrill of hidden conspiracies - "John Roberts is being blackmailed by mysterious forces" is so much more titillating than "John Roberts is an establishment coward doing what establishment cowards do". I get it. But this kind of fantasy doesn't belong in serious conversation.

There are a lot of people who engage in fantasy these days - men pretending that they are women, people of privilege pretending they're victims. I have no problem with you folks - but don't expect me to go along with your fantasies.
