Reflections III - Bad Ideas

Bad ideas can only be enforced in the long term by tyranny. Therefore at the center of every tyranny is an idealism that is inherently rancid.

 An Ivy League education at its heart offers its recipient the ability to put forward a stupid idea with an air of superiority.

There is no greater marketing device than the notion of fear. It goes straight to our emotional brain while bypassing all critical thought.

 I have yet to encounter a greater leap of faith than the argument put forth by many that something can come from nothing.

 If the internet has taught me anything it is that bad ideas grow exponentially while those in the good are constrained to the linear.
