      Lib whose brain is totally melted by Russiagate nonsense.

      140 character or less Musk Twitter-messaging addict. Little one-line anti-intellectual anti-citation pro-mockery sound-bite values. Worshiper of Fox News HDTV, Rupert Murdoch NYC media, cults to billionaire thinking USA society. People who cheer on MAGA and Donald Trump for the mental health jokes and brain disorder laughs. Always avoiding science of Dr. Bandy X Lee’s 27 leaders since year 2017 in favor of laughing at Donald Trump’s mental problems, LOL LOL LOL meme society.

       

      “Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. I have a (year 1995) foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance. As I write, the number-one videocassette rental in America is the movie Dumb and Dumber. “Beavis and Butthead” remain popular (and influential) with young TV viewers. The plain lesson is that study and learning — not just of science, but of anything — are avoidable, even undesirable.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995, page 59

          What the hell are you talking about?

          Carl Sagan book, page 59. Do you have serious reading problems? Do you know how to find a public library and what 'Page 59" of a book means?

          You are talking to a communist,
