The Way My Brain Works

I clearly don't fit the elitist, left-wing mindset.

When I see that I am in debt, the first thing I do is not vastly increase my spending.

If I were a research scientist and someone had just leaked the fact that I had been apparently discussing with my colleagues ways to "hide" evidence that contradicted my theories (theories that were making me very famous - no simple feat for a nerdy researcher) and "tricks" to massage my research, the first thing I would do, if such language was simply being misread, would be to immediately release the raw data I had used, explain what I meant by "hide" and "trick" and why the use of the terms was actually innocuous while having a laugh by how they could indeed be misconstrued out of context...not admit that I had destroyed the raw data before anyone could validate my work.

If I try something, and it clearly does not work, I do not go around bragging about how well it had worked and, at the same time, try to get people to go along with letting me do the same thing again because the only reason it had not worked the first time was because I didn't try hard enough.

If people were worried that I had become too cozy, professionally, with a certain group after convincing many people that I would be open to all and not favor anyone in particular, I would likely try to reassure them that I was still objective and open by prominently mingling with other groups and publicly asking for input from other sources, not telling anyone complaining to shut up and get out of my way.

If I wanted to win a war (that I claimed was absolutely essential to win) that those trained and paid to know how to win wars had told me could only be won with a concerted, sustained, elevated level of effort, I would not give them a token elevation of effort at the same time I was telling them how I would soon retreat.

If I was concerned that people kept calling me a socialist, and I was not actually a socialist, I would not surround myself with communists and socialists, praise the communists that raised me and talk about how I had actively sought out their companionship, and hire people that do things like go around praising mass-murdering communists like Chairman Mao.

But that's just me.
