The major problem with the Internet is it lets kooks express themselves and take on an authoritative role far greater they have or deserve.

#8 Academics are 'problematic' to society

Do they grow food? Do they provide the energy to run a modern civilization? Do they move those goods to market?

However, they do a heck of a lot of sucking up the resources and gains of those that do.

#10 /\ Well I'm just thankful modern medicine and big pharma have managed to cure the scourge of flu, emphysema, and pneumonia. You just never hear of anyone passing on as a result of this stuff anymore.

#14 when the media makes grandiose statements like 'Their view is gaining traction' I like to think of that technique of adding 'in bed' to the statement of any Chinese fortune cookie. Except I add 'On Twitter' to the statement.

And then everything makes sense.

"Their view is gaining traction on Twitter"
