Anti-Intellectualism, not BEING THERE

I never think my thoughts deep thoughts -- though I'm no Peter Sellers, they are but common trite reactions. l do not live an examined philosophic life; nor have I focused, fathomed understanding. But -- there is, everywhere, wide-eyed blank confusion -- crowds who do not listen, do not hear, cannot ken -- who do not choose even NOT to grasp what is shown, or read, said, or written. While reveling in company that towers oh! so high in intellectual singularity -- such myriad dazzling talents! -- alas! I am only still another erstwhile Chauncey Gardiner. Envoi: Where are (perhaps in hiding?) our popular current Feynmans -- Sagans -- Hawkings -- even Einsteins? Now I will -- no, I must ! -- ask: think you that ignorance might NOT be bliss?
