Most intellectuals rate intelligence in terms of how far you can depart from reality and make it look as though you used reason to get there. It doesn’t take a whole lot of intelligence to see the truth. It does take a whole lot of brain power to create a well-integrated, sophisticated lie or fantasy. Consider that it took a huge amount of brain power to turn out an episode of Star Wars(not true) than it does a video of kids playing in the back yard(reality).
This explains why the folks at Harvard, Yale, etc. can turn out such nonsense that mere mortals know is foolishness.
For an extreme example, see the writings of Andrea Dworkin.
No, on second thought, don't. Even a short exposure to such tortured "reasoning" can contaminate your mind for days.
A perfect statement.
That’s so true. A lot of them have fun spending their times spinning theories and hypothesizing all the time and mainly embark on research, not substantial projects that produce substantial, solid results.
That’s the ultimate probelm with how the government and schools are run. They spend time experimenting and basically causing upheaval instead of enacting long term based projects with a solid result in the end.
