In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.
While people who have actual expertise, knowledge, and demonstrable abilities ought not to be knocked down because they are “credentialed”, it is true that such belittlement can exist because self-declared intellectual elites tend to quite often demonstrate their abject stupidity. William F. Buckley asked, nearly forty years ago, the evergreen question: Why are out intellectuals so dumb?
Until next Friday.
