THE THREE GREAT PREMISES OF IDIOT AMERICA:
1) Any theory is valid if it sells books, soaks up ratings, or otherwise moves units.
2. Anything can be true if someone says it loudly enough.
3. Fact is that which enough people believe. Truth is measured by how fervently they believe it.
I would like to brag that I saw coming Donald Trump's unique ability to activate—nay,to embody —all three of the Great Premises at once, but I can't really do that. However, in no field of argument, and on no other issues, are the Three Great Premises engaged to more destructive effect than on the issue of the climate crisis that continues to confront us no matter how hard we wish it away.
