| LOL Scam.... Hey Doc Wu, have you ever noticed that there seems to be an ever widening gap between laymen and advanced highly technical disciplines? Are these doctors and scientists and technicians becoming our "aliens" on earth among us? Quite frankly I don't see how a pimple faced kid in high school with nothing on his mind more than his penis and popcorn, can come through a 4 year college and some lab training and be able to quantify genetic code subroutines that predict how a species evolved. THEY MUST ALL RECEIVE IMPLANTS FROM ALIENS!!!! |
I don't know about pimply faced nerds and implants, but there is defnitely an increasing gap between such groups as well as between the rich and poor. Most people know little about science and using rational thought to come to informed conclusions, and of course that includes the voting public who elect our leaders.
The great RAWilson once said, "The secret to controlling the public is this: If you take the average person on the street, then by definition 50% of the people are dumber than that."
Think about it.

That makes no sense at all. Perhaps Mr Wilson thought that the term 'average' meant the same as the term 'median'? Well, it doesn't.

Mr Wilson did indeed use the term average ...perhaps he meant to say median. At any rate people always confuse the two but we all know what he meant. Don't we..?
