gee, sounds like quite a few of the profs I've run across ... you ever hear of Prof Noam Chomsky?

Some of my family memebers are devotees of his worldview.
It's a lost cause to discuss or argue with them.
We can't even agree on a shared reality.
Everything, according to them, is spun to support the existing power-elite. Nothing is as it seems.
The elusive "they" always have their story out in the media. Total tinfoil.
The sad, but inevitable result is a form of mental illness, and I say this sincerely.
And I've read that he's not even a good linguist; his theories have a certain cachet with leftist academia, but they don't hold water with those who can get past his aura of celebrity.
So many areas of academia have been corrupted. I'd like to see the university youth have a revolt, a la the Berkley Free Speech Movement, but against the lies and B.S. promugated at the university level.
