In my life I often what? 'experience that feedback that suggests others seem me as an oddity as a thinker', that my point of view isn't exactly normal, and I think that may be the result of the odd habit I seem to have of questioning, at least, some things. And for whatever reason or degree this might actually be true, if not that is some ego trick of self flattery, it has been reinforced over the years by various sources from which I have drawn inspiration, one being, a book of the title, Wisdom of the Idiots, implying that real wisdom does indeed sound foolish to most people, and also this comment from similar sources, 'the so called wise men are fools' implying that what actually does pass off as wisdom in fact is what is really foolish.
Now since I am rather convinced my much evidence that my brain capacity is extremely limited and thus that I can have no coherent notion of exactly just how much of a fool I may actually be, I find it, like most people I see, quite convinced that the way I see thing is in fact the proper way to see, but, unfortunately for me, I just can't be that very sure. In fact, owing to these unusual challenges to my own capacity to think properly, coming from the odd places I have been with my readings, I can have no real assurance I know wisdom from fact at all. Naturally, however, like any other fool, I won't let that stop me here:
So it happened while perusing the internet as I do, seeking the entertainment of ideas, I came across this:
And I found what I heard there disturbing. Again I am forced to question who are the wise men and who are the fools. This is from a Stanford professor, always a bad sign, home to many a conservative thinker, or as I would normally call them professionals at rationalization. But because I just can't seem to close the door on the notion that I know everything, and having nothing better to do decided to listen. And what I heard challenged everything I had come to regard as the best advise of how the handle the Covid Pandemic. How distressing that some possible conservative may have suggested that the experts I thought knew something might actually be the fools. I thought I would share and let you decide if you have the time and any interest.
