I want to reassert what this thread is about: the attack by the Trump administration on learning, education, science, medicine. In other words, human knowledge. It is a concerted attack. This thread has nothing whatsoever to do with any of the subjects raised by the laziest troll, who is apparently unable to figure out the subject matter of the threads he floods with nonsense. It should not be hard to recognize that “marching naked people, Russiagate, Rogan does Hillary, oil pipelines, and democratic socialist mayoral candidates” have nothing whatsoever to do with attacks on human knowledge and learning.

@PJF, you wrote: “This thread and that Atlantic article are a load of crap.”

Then maybe you should have given some thought to ignoring this thread. Posting comments completely unrelated to the subject matter is lame, and lazy. One of your comments, yesterday, might have constituted a zinger for you, if posted in the Trump economy thread. Here, it makes no sense whatsoever. Not to mention the odd scene of seeing someone posting to a thread they consider “crap”. You’re only broadcasting your ignorance of the subject, and your own hatred of learning.
