The Old Media keeps telling us that Joathan Gruber is an extremely intelligent man. After all, he went to Harvard and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).
But think about it: Joseph Goebbles was an extremely intelligent man, too. In fact he was a bona-fide genius, and the power behind the entire Nazi regime. And he was also a bitter, unhealthy little man with a warped personality and gender identification issues. The kind of man that you would never leave alone with your children.
There’s a big difference between being “smart” and being wise. Neither Jonothan Gruber or Joseph Goebbles were wise men. They are instead the epitome of the ivory tower educated fools.
