"Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts, and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got: a diploma."
--Wizard of Oz (The Wizard of Oz)
It is usually best to leave fools, even credentialed fools like Paul Krugman, to their folly. Why waste valuable time on mindless blather?
Every now and then, however, it does seem worthwhile to bookmark the blather, such as Krugman's recent NYT op-ed "Debt is Good," as examples of just how far off the rails viewpoints followed by many can get. Dave Stockman does a nice job hammering it into the ground, but it some ways it seems like overkill on such drivel.
Some fear that people like Krugman are a threat to freedom and prosperity. Only to weak minds wishing to remain weak by outsourcing their brains to fools with credentials.
