Jack Journalists and Academics are afflicted with a lack of real world experience. There is much conceptual mental development in the application of cause / effect that makes the workings of the world much more evident. Frames or reference are achieved in the mind through practice. Without those frames paradigms don't have a good foundation. While seeming to make perfect sense to the academic, journalist or others who've got little world experience they are ridiculous to those who do have the experience built mental framework to understand realities. This is made clear in students who play an instrument. They develop points of reference other children don't and as a result process information more easily in school and do better. Playing an instrument is application of cause and effect to gain a result. Now, that's not equivalent to people involved in areas of cause and effect in the world economy or construction or other areas where success is heavily dependent on a deep understanding of cause and effect in those areas, but it (musical cause & effect in making an instrument make the desired sounds) is significant in it's stimulation of mental development.
Ironic that were have fresh, unseasoned, under developed embryos of human beings in positions to teach and inform and often govern others. That seems to be the ugly result of an elitist system where qualifications are based on arbitrary assessments of qualification rewarded by important & prized pieces of paper, rather than actual merit based assessment of qualification. Example, Harvard is the top University, based on what? Not testing, but alumni contributions. It's setting up a class system based on belonging to a class, not earning status in a real way.
I mean Harvard will allow some few into the club through hard work & merit, but they still don't have the connections like Bush & Obama who had powerful association, to gain real power based on who they are, not what they are.
