I get how you are perplexed that anyone could vote for him over Clinton. But again, given all that you stand for, all that you have voiced support for over the years on this forum, I am not surprised that you cannot see why. Your views represent the establishment, and everything that is wrong with government. The people who voted for Trump despise all that you support. Thus, it is obvious to anyone on the outside looking in, why you would be perplexed.
And so they voted for an incompetent egomaniac and pathological liar. Yes, how victorious they all are. All that winning.
I get that. Fortunately for my generation, they are still in the minority, however I am concerned regarding the future.
Indeed you should be concerned for the future. Your views of the world are going away. Many of those views, I say good riddance. On a few, I share your concern. All in all, I think it's a net positive and the sooner we rid ourselves of the academics, the better.
why does Tsing Tao want to get rid of academics ? Does he have any idea of how things work and why academics are key for a society/country to be ahead ????????
Perhaps he believes in good old-fashioned "know-how" that comes from the ether. Why try to benefit from a body of knowledge comprising the research and mistakes of others when you can just be omniscient instead?
This is what I find interesting about ET : posters can put out there really "unusual" point of views.
