But Classic has to defend his worldview somehow.  You wouldn't want to make him thing for himself, would you?  As is typical of red partisans there are certain aspects of reality that are walled out from comprehension.  Busting through is nigh on impossible.

I would like to say the blue are different, but both are partisan ideological political systems, and the idea of checking against reality and revising a theory to match realty is under the purview of scientific world views...

Nope. He doesn't want me to be able to think for myself anymore than you want me to think for myself at this point. It's to much trouble for those with weak minds to handle and contend with these days.
