whether there is a general pattern?
I dont think so, I think it is much simpler than any stealth design.


Here is "the problem". The distinction is fairly easy to understand. The problem is that this problem was also easily understood by any ivy league Freshman in the 80s. In fact the discussion of "dilettantism" went on especially with a friend of mine, the two of us starting up PUGWASH on the Cornell Campus in 84
About Pugwash – Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs
Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs – Pugwash seeks a world free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. Through our long-standing tradition of ‘dialogue across divides’ that also earned us the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995, Pugwash aims to develop and support the use of scientific, evidence-based policymaking, focusing on areas where nuclear and WMD risks are present. By facilitating track 1.5 and track II dialogues, we foster creative discussions on ways to increase the security of all sides and promote policy development that is cooperative and forward-looking.
or so. There is no Cornell Psychology Dept saying a smart student like me needs to take little red pills; a Jewish doctor in Florida hospitalizing Christians for placebo complaints; the state of Lousiana trumping up State Charges and tireing out of state cars just to leave the posts to the internet later; or dsyfunctional families that say HOW talent is cultivated but not how to stay on a budget.
It is a very simple point. Kant made it many years ago. Why can't we change? More importantly than how is why, why is "higher education" NOT higher than something a few fresh freshman do if they do not kiss??
