Scary encounters

Kadizzle always thought if your brain was smart in one area that in general it would be intelligent in most areas. Reality has proven Kadizzle wrong. You would think and airline pilot, or a doctor would have the capacity to smell a conspiracy theory. To many times Kadizzle has run into people who have professional degrees and are excellent in some field, but they will believe the most bizarre tales people can crank out. 

Long ago Kadizzle rode to work with Karl. Karl was a brilliant mathematician, but he was also caught up in fundamentalist religion. How does that work? Science is based on a method of thinking that requires facts, but how many people do you know that deal with science, and also watch Fox News?

How many people will just not address the obvious. Income inequality and the tax structure of the United States are the roots of our problems, but who wants to admit the obvious. Trump is a classic. The man is so clearly a grifter, and liar, but the people who voted for him just cannot admit the made one hell of a mistake. How do the minds of these people work in a way that lets them ignore the obvious. Maybe it is silly of Kadizzle to ask these questions. Religion has been around for centuries. Religion is based on ignoring reality.
