We are constantly told that We need more people with College Degree's. This assumes that a College Degree makes a smart person. Education is never a bad thing, but using that education takes more than book learnen. Every part of our Society is filled with people with so many degree's, that if they had to carry them they would be hunchbacks. Yey we are a society so messed up we can't seem to do anything right.
These people advise everyone from our students up to our Presidents. They are called on for advice in all most everything. So one would think with all this learned advice that we wouldn't have any problems, and could fix any that arise. We wish this was the case.
One only has to look at our Government, Economy, Finacial Sector, Courts, and on to every phase of our society. These people supposedly taught us how to do everything, advised us on our every move, and brought to our attention our mistakes, and were to tell us how to fix everything.
The Nation is in one of it's worst fixes in it's History. We have had other bad times like wars, and the depression, but we alway's were after a fight able to come together and fix our problems.
Today is worse because not only were our problems made by smart people, they were compounded by smart people thinking they knew how to fix them. The Countries shape gets worse by the day. Yet We are looking to those same smart people to fix everything.
All the Economists, Professors, and Intellectuals were their while the Countries problems developed, and many were making their advice known to all involved. Most were completely wrong on everything they said, but failed to take any responsibility.
You can watch the Television, browse the web, or read print material, and it all will be full of these people's opinions. Way to often there are two Economists, Professors or Intellectuals with opposing opinions who disagree on everything. This shows they really have no answers or ideas, but have formed their opinions on their beliefs and not on proven facts.
Education teaches us 2 and 2 equals 4. This is an undisputable fact. In most higher learning it's from books or people. Both are seldom from provable fact, but from those people's opinions, or the opinions of some long dead intellectual. Opinions are not facts.
Because someone states something, it's writen in a book, or is well excepted opinion, doesn't make it true or fact. The whole science of Economics is based on opinions.
Like I say with all this knowledge we have around us no problem should go unfixed. Yet no one can agree on even what to do, because of opposing opinions. You can't have opposing opinions on facts. So opposing opinions are beliefs, and the brightest people in the world don't always believe facts.
So I think it's time for our smart people to put up, or shut up. I want to see all these people agree on a plan, tell us about it, sell it to the Government and People, and fix all our problems. We don't need Your Opinions, Beliefs, or Thoughts on things. We need intelligent actionable ideas and facts. You shouldn't be teaching our kids, advising people, and passing out Your opinions if You can't back any of it up with facts.
