So Carson hasn’t learned a damned thing in the last twenty years? He continued to believe in pyramid grain storage up until at least this afternoon.
Absolutely correct. Dr. Carson hasn’t learned anything in the last 20 years. Undoubtedly he’s still using the same medical procedures and medications he was using 20 years ago. No doubt, he has no idea how to use any modern computing environments. He probably never learned to set the clock on his VCR and the concept of watching a DVD is well beyond him.
Why does it matter? So he has an odd theory about Egyptian pyramids. Do you think this is something on which he spends a lot of time? Do you think it impacts his daily life? Don’t you suppose he has more pressing things on his plate at this time? In the grand scheme of things, each one of us has things on which we are wrong. If this is the extent to which Dr. Carson is wrong on something, I’d say he’s ahead of the curve.
Given the success the man has had learning the complexities of operating on the human brain, I’d say if as POTUS he needed in-depth understanding of the purpose of Egyptian pyramids, he has the capability accomplish the task.
Using this as some sort of litmus test for presidential candidates is silly. Conservatives complain about the MSM and their gotcha questions. This smacks of the same pettiness.
