is the result

“Suppose we got it all wrong and the real crazies are the TV people in nice suits and $300 haircuts?”
That’s an observation by Richard Fernandez on Twitter, and he has a good point. There’s a lot of craziness in the air these days.
But for the most part it seems to be flowing from the top down, not bubbling up from the bottom.
It wasn’t farmers and factory workers who came up with the idiotic COVID responses — nor was it they who originated the more or less criminal idea of conducting “gain of function” research on making dangerous viruses more dangerous.
It wasn’t shopkeepers and bus drivers who thought

Virtually every sentence within is a stand-alone damning statement of our current affairs.

This article is poorly written and thought out. The author is a professor, a job where you work 10 hours a week and get paid handsomely. His reference to blue collar workers is weak. He is in his ivory tower and I doubt he has much contact with the people he references. The author is part of the education elite. People like the author are why college is so expensive. When I started college in 1981 one hour of college credit cost 10 dollars an hour. I hope he wasn't paid by the state for writing this article.

Top brains?! Sez who?
Oh yeah, other top brains. Becoming heavily credentialed is such folks' reason to be.

Strongly disagree with #3. The article is on target. And I'm not convinced that ALL professors are incompetents, and Mr. Reynolds seems to be right on target.

The people with the lowest morals are running things. They're fools not top brains. They're also very dangerous and destructive. Everything they touch ends in destruction. They are mostly why the world is the mess that it is now. It's basically the sin factor run amok.

The leaders of our country once came up from among the people, as well as from the upper echelons. Until the last few decades the American culture valued the individual, not the station of life into which a person was born. Each man or woman made their way according to their honor, intellect, talent, will and faith in God. While politics could sometimes devolve into a blood sport with union riots and rival party gangs in the big cities, it did not permeate down to the personal level of canceling family and friends as it does today.
When big cities erupted into riots, the rioters were arrested, jailed, tried and sent to prison. In 2020 the BLM riots were literally allowed to burn themselves out. However, citizens with legitimate questions about the vote count of the 2020 presidential election that gathered at the U.S. Capitol were subject to an unprovoked attack of flash bang grenades by Federal law enforcement, Capitol Police enticing them inside, while in other locations they were being beaten by officers. Now thousands are under arrest or threat of arrest for absurd charges and facing long prison sentences.
Meanwhile our government has as a figurehead a corrupt senile pedophile owned by China. Most of our elected officials are also bought and paid for by either China or a consortium of Corporations. Our universities are Marxist factories turning out non-thinking AI humanoids, who are destined to be our next government overloads and corporate heads ready to sell us our next electric water heater.
We need to ditch the "top brains" and start thinking for ourselves. Little rebellions wherever you can. Quite or loud. Throw sand in their machine. MAGA Revenge - TRUMP 2024

Perhaps it is time we realize that many of the so-called ‘best and brightest’ aren’t.

The article is spot-on. Intense greed does not make one smart and the Biden administration is the perfect example. A brain-dead fool, his overly ambitious, pretentious wife and drug-addicted, sex-crazed moron of a son are what currently passes as the First Family. His entire cabinet and staff were put into place based chiefly on merits of skin color and degree of sexual confusion. The people who support and drive them, billionaire green lunatics, one-worlders, delusional dreamers and Karl Marx hero-worshipers like Soros, Gates, Schwab, etc. don't have a brain among them but they all sport the haircuts and suits like proverbial pigs with lipstick.
