the current (manifest) near-absence of anyone capable of the occasional Wise interjection into the morass of language murder suggests -if not quite proves- a fundamental *cough* dearth, all unnoticed; that of the metaphysical progression ~

factoid --> assorted facts --> [synthesis via discrimination into] information --> | knowledge [no sound byte will define] --> || Wisdom [language itself can barely contain the notion]

| = ineffable barriers beyond our poor power to comprehend, never mind 'analyze'.
This does not mean they aren't there.

ergo: Dumbth is on the increase IMhO, and however uncertain would be stats ever to ratify:
Like our Presyudent-guy, I Know I'm Right!
