Tyranny of ideas

What we are experiencing in the world today is the "heartless tyranny of ideas," a phrase from the great thinker Paul Johnson to characterize intellectualism. Intellectuals do not necessarily think, think about facts, accept facts ( except theirs) or accept reality. Who then do you think are the 'smart' people, the intellectuals who have destroyed America and our planet's highest level of civilization with the coronavirus shutdown? Our Governor ass DeWine parrots every scientists'  and intellectuals' version of a pandemic reality. "Let  your hearts not be troubled," - words of the Lord used today in the Gospel, might be appropriate. Don't you think?

Reject words like "operationalized," "synergy" and "premarily," that I heard used today by 'smart people. Stick to functional words like 'remain calm,' 'don't panic' and 'trust in the Lord.'
