We seek connections between things that aren't and totally miss the connections between those that are. Why?
Well because they do not suit us. If they did we'd accept them. They don't so we won't. We make up what does suit it and then advertise it as factual actual true. All it is of course is bullsh** said with a straight face a pumped fist and a determined stance glance. But the bullsh** artists are so in love with what they create they cannot stop. How much bullsh** does it take to sink a ship of state?
