Conventional wisdom is often wrong.

Conventional “wisdom” is rarely anything but simple convention. It always amazes me how people tend to short circuit all rational thought and higher order intellect when it comes to certain, almost inexplicably obsessed about things. This fluoride issue is a good example, people who aren’t self-important and “educated” have been derided and ridiculed for years now simply because they suggest there may be something wrong, even though their claims are based on the very science the self-important group claims to hold to be sacrosanct. So objective evaluation leaves you with the realization that it must be something else than actual scientific method and rational intellect that incenses the self-important cohort. My belief is that it is really based on a naked kind of supremacism of the “educated” and self-important people who, although extremely competent and skilled in many ways, seem to lack quite basic skills like humility and exhibit strong psychopathic tendencies, which would allow them to cede the very notion that those they have utter contempt for (usually those not in a concentration of self-important narcissism of urban self-selection) May have actually bested them or have pointed out the worst thing possible to the self-important supremacist psychopathic group … that they were wrong about something. There seems to be an odd kind of psychological or even cognitive barrier that prevents that group from accepting divergence from beliefs that have been psychologically comparnentalized and shielded from approach that it causes almost violent and very much cognitively dissonant reactions. Just float the notion that climate change is the 21st century’s alchemy andbthat there is a whole science industry behind it that inherently depends on furthering the notion of climate change in spite of fundamental issues that question the whole notion. Just alone the violent reaction to “denying” climate change should indicate to any rational person that something is not right. Serious, old school, died in the scientific wool actual scientists with no financial incentive have raised serious questions about the whole notion … but those are summarily ignored and violent reaction is the norm upon possibly informing anyone of the dissenters. That’s another example of how our supposedly most educated, learned, and intelligent; seem to be incapable sometimes of getting over themselves.
