Marginalizing Substantive Wisdom:

When it comes to important issues of the day, Machiavellian Business, Media, Academia, and Government care less about substance than about entertaining us with Marxist, Orwellian, and Madison Avenue techniques of body language, persuasive posturing, and double speak.

Force of attitude and emotion with which one blogswarms in ad hominem attacks with one’s buddies comes to be more important than substance when it comes to our “education” — or rather conditioning.

For presentation to our attention-deficit society, there abound simplistic slogans, cliches, and ad hominem slurs, repetitively employed as if the essence of wisdom. Examples: McCarthism; Swiftboating.
