Apparently you don't understand the wisdom from many great minds one can
quote from.

I have no knowledge about such silliness.

You have it all wrong! If it wasn't for drop outs like Gates, you
wouldn't have a computer to type on. If you didn't see the PBS
documentary "Triumph of the Nerds", you really should. As it shows how
so-called dumb computer nerds creamed the so-called smart academia.
I can write volumes of books on this stuff. But here is just one little
tidbit you can chew over. Academia is trying very hard to get everyone
taking yearly flu shots. People dumb enough to listen to those dummies,
apparently don't know what they put in those shots. There are many bad
things in flu shots and one of them is mercury. And mercury is only
going to make the masses dumber and dumber. And if you believe these
people are smart, they are not.

Caveman? Would a caveman challenge the wisdom of say Einstein? You sure
have many things wrong off of the bat. Nor are you sharing anything
intelligent either. While I am doing just the opposite.

Ah your cognitive dissonance is showing again.
