   Who knows?  I have a nice big list of Ignorant Elitists that we haven't heard   
   from for a while.  It could be any of them because they like to come back under   
   a different name to bypass the twit filters.   
      
    AT> What is the significance of these creatures?   
      
   They are insignificant.   
      
    AT> What do they teach us?   
      
   Don't doom scroll on your phone anymore.  :)   
      
    AT> 1) There are people who have grown up with developmental deficiencies   
    AT> and the TV has been their crutch for too many years.   
      
   Rather say that they have been purposely mis-educated by their mis-educated   
   parents and our failed education system.  They have been conditioned to let the   
   "experts" (as delivered through the TV) do their thinking for them.   
      
   Most people have built-in error correction systems.  If you believe X is true,   
   but you keep seeing evidence that X is false, then at some point you will   
   question your belief and adjust.   
      
   But these people have had that built-in error correction system conditioned out   
   of their brains.   
      
    AT> 2) There are people who live miserable lives and instead of accepting   
    AT> responsibility for their failures, they blame the president.   
      
   They have always gotten awards for doing nothing.  They have been conditioned   
   that just participating is good enough.  Then they get into the real world   
   where "trying" is not good enough and that attacks their belief system.   
      
   Worse, they have been told all their lives how great, smart, wonderful, etc.    
   that they are.  So the idea that they are wrong is painful because the   
   alternative is to face the fact that they are not that great, smart, wonderful,   
   etc.   
      
   But until they DO face that fact, they can't improve.  The thing is that they   
   were programmed to avoid facing that fact.   
      
   The end result is an angry, stupid, useless person who can't get out of the   
   hole he willingly stays in.  Perfect fodder for the Elitist machine who   
   promises free stuff.   
      
    AT> 3) There are people who if you want to control what they do, you just   
    AT> need to be a TV broadcaster.   
      
   But the TV broadcaster is under control too.   
      
    AT> Learnin is fun.   
      
   But learning is not something you get from TV anymore.   
      
      
   ... We make our own fortunes and call them our fate.
