You twist that comment, create a straw man, misconstrue Chomsky, and then expose your extremely ideological individualism - quite a feat and in so few words!
What straw man, what misunderstanding of Chomsky, and "ideological individualism?"If you can't elucidate, your comment is meaningless. But that's no surprise .What the hell do you have to say for yourself?
I said education and democracy, as a combo, are supposed to make you less partisan. It is a claim that I did not ratify by any means, but is it not a common claim and the basis of propaganda? "We know better because we are more advanced technologically, materially and intellectually"? I fully agree that many "unschooled" people are not only more intelligent, but better informed than many PHDs. My reference to the Universe is in the post-modern sense that parochial ideas should be measured against a wider background of time and space. It is not literal and grandiose, but poetic.

You had me until the last sentence. I believe it should read “democracy -can- give cover to bad ideas.”
In the absence of democracy, what better system do you suggest? A guaranteed benign dictator, perhaps?
