Oh good, I thought I was losing it

Even when I don't know the language, I can usually figure out what it's doing. At least when it's one of the ones in common use today. Unless it's Lisp.

LISP is incredibly powerful.

For example to search "trees". I've only used it in a CS class and it takes a paradigm shift in thinking to use it.

But, don't try to use it to add two numbers.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
