Okay fair enough. I read the article. I'm not sure to what extent I believe the authors argument that the intellectual elite are more out of touch or less responsive to criticism than others. In my view people who aren't particularly well-educated are just as liable to form strong irrational opinio...

Take a look in the mirror "Raving Dave"! AHA! HA! HA! HA! HA! I do. Constantly. That's the difference. People need to look at their ideas with a critical eye, and re-evaluate them. I am persuadable. I change my opinion when evidence convinces me that i've made a mistake in reasoning, or I didn't ha...

How very smart people can believe very weird things.

An issue which has been puzzling me for a very long time. It seems universal. I know many smart people who are perfectly reasonable until you find the one (or more) subjects that turn them into crazy people. At this point, their ability to reason simply disappears. What's even stranger, is they don'...

Getting back on topic, The secret service HATED Jimmy Carter. Read why. Agents told Kessler that Jimmy Carter treated them and others who served him with utter disdain. "Inside the White House, Carter treated with contempt the little people who helped and protected him," and told agents not to look ...

Beamed energy propulsion has been arround - at least as a concept - for a while. I am somewhat sceptical, but willing to be convinced. It does sound good on the surface, but the devil is in the details and there are lots of those that need to be taken care of. Well, we will see. I didn't read the l...

Chechnya. China. In fact Russia has for a very long time going back to the Czars made enemies. We put ...

Yes I would tend to agree with the "Surrender and we will aid you" policy. I don't think that's compatible with "pre-emptive" nuclear strikes on countries. If the US truly had the capacity to wage a ground war on Stalinist Russia, occupy it and bring about a more benevolent regime change. Then in t...
