They should charge for this place

Who knew of the collective intellectual power this place holds?

Experts in everything-

Government, foreign affairs, economics, religion, philosophy etc

All willing to share their expertise, in the most obnoxious ways ever.

The writer of this post is excluded. If I say something at all it’s a lie.

But, let's look at it from another angle. This site isn't called Solutions for a Planet. It's not a think tank and does nothing to attract the academic elite. That's not the purpose it serves.

This is a thought chamber, where people can share perspectives, debate points, similarities and differences. Lately it's a pulpit, but for those who realize they're exploring issues and not deciding them for the masses, it can be an interesting diversion. And once in a while, it offers a line of thought that might not have otherwise occurred to a person. This site invites all people regardless, and that makes for an interesting playground.

Yeah, everyone's an armchair expert, but bring up the topic of frying a turkey in the south and see how many experts start falling from the sky. It's human nature; it's how we learn.
