This simpleton with a degree in politics from Princeton (gawd is that not the most useless education in history?) feels free to write about science as if he knew something, even though he has not the slightest training in science.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/achenblog/wp/2014/05/19/bicep2s-cosmological-conundrum If you ever feel yourself wondering why civilization seems to be collapsing, look no farther than the professional society of narcissists who feel free to speak on any topic with authority, as long as it brings in a buck. They know their equally narcissistic readers will be both incapable of telling fact from fiction, and unconcerned about the difference - or even worse, they may themselves believe they are allowed to understand nature's deepest secrets without ever working hard - at anything. Profoundly depressing. ----------------------------------------------- "I write a little. I erase a lot." - Chopin
