As I get older and see more of the mistakes and stuff ups that have been made in the world the less I like academics, academics have a place in the overall scheme, I am not against the thinkers and education, just that most of the time it is not practical or real world that has to be addressed and they should never have the power to alter the whole contry

Professional politician
Economics experts
Medical expert

They all have one thing in common -- a lot of information about one narrow subject and usually limited common sense or the ability to put theory into practice
