Americans are being conditioned to not be able to tell the difference between reality and fantasy, truth and falsehood.  Nothing means anything anymore, see?

The whole idea is for you to feel overwhelmed and lost, and thus incapable of chaning or influencing anything.  Shut up and send us your money and your children, because the world is a bizarre and confusing place and you are powerless.  The things you thought you knew aren't true anymore.

As a guy in his mid 60s I don't even recognize this country anymore. But ironically, I still can remember thinking "Oh shit, we're doomed" the first time I saw MTV back in the '80s.

Really?  I still can remember thinking "Oh my god, this is the coolest thing that ever existed" the first time I saw MTV.  But then, I'm in my late 40s and I was about 13 at the time.  These days though, on the rare occasion when I accidently tune in to MTV, they don't even seem to be about music anymore.  I would love to have been a fly on the wall when their executive leadership made the call that they should move away from the subject matter that is embedded in their name.

Words evolve over time and across space. It would be a mistake to suggest that words are, for the most part, simply made up. This evolution gives language an organic unity which facilitates communication in art, science, personal interaction and other areas. This unity allows one to connect emotionally with language and those employing it rather than simply to hear it in a clinical sense.

The words, "See the cows grazing in the green grass," set a tone and touches us more deeply due to their organic unity than any string of arbitrarily made up words could do.

I don't know about all that, but to be a scientist you sorta need a Ph.D. and I don't think he ever claimed to have one. Now if you want to think that talking about science means you are making a claim as a scientist, and that this is wrong, then I guess a lot of commentors on ZH pretending to know fuck-all about science are doing the same thing because I get a lot of noise about all kinds of sciencey-like crap but I don't think there are nearly that many Ph.D.s sitting around as all that.

As for majority decision, now you have me genuinely curious. By what other mechanism do you suppose humans learn about the entire planet except through cooperation, sharing observations, and evaluating information as a whole? Oh hell I forgot ... all we have to do is ask you! Fuck me, it's so simple. Hey everyone I got a guy here has all the answers to life the universe and everything except for realz! Okay sparky, step up to the mic. We're all waiting, open up the flood gates of all that brilliant shit you have tucked away between those jug-handle ears. The whole of humanity has labored for 5,000 godless years and what a waste because now all we need is that one perfect person who with God's own blessing knows the answer to everything under the sun you hypocritical oaf.

These amongst others were not university professors, nor doctors in any sense when they made their accomplishements. 

Most of them were post-facto awarded honorary Ph.D's....because to fail to do so would cheapen the pedigree of Ph.D's.
