Yes, it's truly surprising that otherwise seemingly intelligent people
could have a different political philosophy to you, isn't it? I mean,
everyone knows that the relative merits of different political
ideologies are objective and easily verified facts, and that therefore
every intelligent individual who has ever thought rationally about the
subject will have come to the exact same conclusions as you - yes,
YOU, Jon Slaughter, and not any of the many people who hold political
stances wildly different to your own (and to those of each other)
despite being much, much more intelligent than you.

Something you completely ignore is what is called reality. It's all fine if
you want to believe in fairies but if you think because you believe in them
it makes it real then your mistaken. You might believe in absolute truth
but there is an absolute truth when it comes to surving and progress. Your
world is constrained by physical reality wether you like it or not or wether
you believe it or not. You can talk philosophies all you want but in
practice if you think anything goes then your delusional(which comes from
your ignorance).

Obviously if you had any clue abuot mathematicians you would understand
this. This is why JSH is a kook and similarly why you are delusion. You
don't know the "rules"(the underlying structure) and you create your own.
Because you are quasi-successful at such a thing you believe it to be
right(after all, almost everyone judges truth by experience). What you
don't realize is that your logic would kill you very quickly 200 years ago.
You wouldn't even last a week 1000 years ago. Even the old peasents of rome
had more common sense than you. They might not have had what we consider
advanced technical knowledge but many could survive on their own. Your very
lucky you live in a time where ignorance can exist. Note ignorance is lack
of intelligence which is distinct from knowledge(you might be a very
knowledable person about something but that doesn't mean you are
intelligent). Just because you know all the stats of every baseball player
in the US minor leages doesn't mean squat.
