    Says the person who is misinformed. But saying that anyone who works with math doesn't deal with reality is pure unadulterated idiocy.

    That was my point. The money system in the US isn't conservative at all - not even on the Republicans side. It's mostly window dressing.

    This isn't exactly the same as stealing taxation money at all (if true).

    Wouldn't this make the sociologists the winners in this debate based on your "we need people who know the real world" declaration? They're the one who are actually applying theory to the real world.

    Quoting an XKCD strip doesn't exactly bolster your case. Mathematical reality has little do with much of life concerning this debate no matter how much you want to act like your book smarts means shit for street smarts.

    Fun fact! Yoshi claims to like Nixon and hate lawyers and career politicians..... yet Nixon was pretty much that.

    Whatever makes you feel better. Book smarts, almost by definition, are not directly applicable. They are academic for the sake of academic. Or, to take a different spin, the people in school who had to study for hours and hours to get their A were book smart, because they didn't likely really understand the material but just memorized it.

    But since you don't even know what I do, as evidenced by your post above, you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about regardless of definition.

    He was a very odd duck for lots of reasons.
