CHEMTRAILZZZZ

I mean to be clear - just because you're highly skilled and knowledgeable about one thing doesn't mean you know crap about another field. Pilots are notorious for this.

There are very few polymaths these days.

Not going to argue about pilots being idiots, yet thinking they are geniuses. Total agreement there.

But this doesn't mean that one can't have basic logic and reasoning of things beyond their profession. Elementary school kids know that water vapor on a cold day freezes. Hell most of them pray for it all through out winter. Last I checked Physics was a good part of college level education (hell even useless degrees like women's studies). Did they not get into what happens to water vapor at low temps. Or how its gets colder as you rise in altitude and why?

How about everyone in the government that is supposedly ordering the mass medication of the public. Are their kids given some magic vaccination against it? Hell that doesn't even makes sense. And any educated doctor should know that isn't possible.

We don't see people walking around DC with NBC chem gear all day. SOoooooo, how do they explain that? Is there some magic self contained fortress WAY underground with its own air supply?

Just fracken stupid how the world has become in a day and age where we have something like the Internet that gives us access to nearly all of recorded history (and then some) of knowledge at our fingertips. Hell we don't even have to wear pants. I can sit here in my underwear and watch videos about the roman aqueducts and how they were built.

While I agree, I have had to explain basic algebra and physics concepts to a lot of adults. Stuff you learn in middle school to grade school and continue to use all through college, and at least I thought, in everyday life afterwards. I had a conversation with an acquaintance recently who apparently never really learned trig nor uses it ever. Which blew my mind.
I honestly don't know how these people manage much of anything more than eating and sleeping. That or their life is incredibly difficult/expensive - paying people to think for them more or less(hire literally everything done for you).

Yes, people should be able to use some deductive reasoning, and they might be able to if they had the basic tools with which to do so. But if 6-8th grade math and physics has been forgotten, then I'm not sure there's a foundation there.

It's worse than you think.

http://www.impact-information.com/impactinfo/literacy.htm

The studies show that low literacy is not primarily the problem of immigrants, the elderly, high-school dropouts, or people whose first language is not English. Low literacy is a problem that knows no age, education, economic boundaries, or national origins. Most people with low literacy skills were born in this country or have English as their first language.

And yet a guy like dolph lundgren can have 3 masters in chemical engineering. And yet act like a torqued up bro on the big screen. WTF is wrong with this world,

I've never had a trig class in my life. If I ever use it, I'm unaware I'm using it. I'm even rather ashamed to admit I had to google the formula to find the circumference of a circle last week while I was landscaping. And yet somehow, I manage to get by just fine. When you're not calculating crosswind components or descent angle to miss your crossing restriction, there really is very little need for anything more than basic arithmetic in the average persons life. Don't pay other people to think for me and hire people as little as possible. (Plumbing and electrical i won't mess with on my home, but that's about it.)

The cement that holds the roman aqueducts together is made up of chemtrails mixed with bovine effluvia. The chemtrails component makes it waterproof - it's lasted for hundreds of years, after all. The flapping wings of Leonardo DaVinci's flying machine has concentrated the chem, and brought it to ground level for mixing.

The total baloney stuff on the internet is side-by-side with the wonderful and true. Looks alike. And since people will believe what they want to believe...

We've lost too much of the ability to evaluate what we see and read. Every time I forget this, all I need to do is stand in line at the supermarket and read the 'publications' on my left.

So I just had the most uncomfortable interaction with a doctor.. yes, a licensed medical doctor...
We were speaking about my sinuses... and the "wave of pollen" released along the west coast and southwest lately.
Doctor: "Plus, in Seattle you're also still getting all that Fukushima radiation..."
Me: "... uh huh...?" *where is this going*
Doctor: "And then all the chemtrails... there's been a lot of spraying lately. I'm sure you know, with your job."
Me: *deer in headlights look* "Uhm... I just..yeah, that's... that's water vapor, though."
Doctor: "No no, water vapor doesn't last for FIVE hours... and then it rains the next day."
Me: "... yeah, uh, anyway I'll try those D vitamins *clears throat*"

I can't believe I actually ran into one of these in the wild. It was .. very awkward.

Never ask for vitamin D, and then clear your throat. Rookie mistake.
 
We had a passenger ask if he could come check out the cockpit last summer. He appeared normal, and asked if he could take a couple pictures to which we said "sure." He snapped a couple and seemed to linger a bit, so I looked up and noticed that he was looking at each and every button and switch very carefully so I asked if he had a question. He said no, I'm looking for the chemtrail controls. I laughed, thinking he was serious until he handed us pamphlets about them and said we should stop attacking our own country with chemicals and that he would expose the truth sooner or later.

I'm amazed at just how many people can make it out of the house without needing Velcro shoes every day.

"Dude? You think there's a switch? How the hell would you ensure compliance? It's in the fuel!"

Gotta stir the pot
