Your above comment is a perfect reflection of your well known(to me) antipathy and hatred of academic studies in general. You’re quite the enemy of higher education in the United States. You may not realize it, but it has come through time and time again. Overall, you impress me as someone who truly hates education, hates the “world of the mind”, the domain of intellectuals, who, after all, are just those among us who are never happier then when we are immersed in the world of ideas and learning.
Here’s my expert. And as far as your wording in describing him? Did you even realize that your comment reflects far more on YOU, than it does the scholar in question? It’s a reflection of your overall attitude toward any higher educator who dares to challenge his students to use their critical thinking skills.
Your comment, in other words, really reflects very poorly on YOU, certainly not Stanley, and it’s not something you should be proud of sharing with anyone! Even willing to use the word “retarded”. Yikes!
My expert:
“This fall he’ll decamp to the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, where he was offered the position of Bissell Hyatt Chair in American Studies”

I don’t believe he is offered that position because he’s dumb. That’s a prestigious chair. You, AI-O-Meter, on the other hand? . Why don’t you write a peer review article, describing why Stanley is as stupid as you claim. You have the academic credentials to write a good analysis of his ignorance, and should have no problem publishing in a prestigious journal.
