>Donald Trump isn’t a simpleton, he just talks like one. If you were to market Donald Trump’s vocabulary as a toy, it would resemble a small box ofLincoln Logs. Trump resists multisyllabic words and complex, writerly sentence constructions when speaking extemporaneously in a debate, at a news conference or in an interview. He prefers to link short, blocky words into other short, blocky words to create short, blocky sentences that he then stacks into short, blocky paragraphs.

How embarrassing!

1. Can you recommend me some page turners like Michael Connelly books?

2. Do you think literature and the written word in general is well within the clutches of the nu-male beta phaggot artiste paradigm (and its symbiotically attached 6/10 beta orbiter collecting female attention whore paradigm)?

In 1100 AD the main ways to convey intellectualism were being literate, memorising passages, worshipping the Greeks and Bible in ever more elaborate ways, and inventing your own branch of unfalsifiable philosophy or theology.

It seems that many people resent the fact that we dont live in 1100 AD and that we have "academic fields" and "real world fields" like mathematics, physics, basket weaving, programming, investment banking, American Football etc., in which creativity and excellence and "progress" and "intelligence" can be expressed. We are still told that reading (for its own sake and not as a means to doing, like learning what a car does) is a noble act and the sole way to be open minded.
