Recycle Misguided Intelligentsia.

Restless need for knowledge precedes development of science. There will always be voids in knowledge, unanswered questions. The more restless the people who feel a need to fill the voids, the more energy that society diverts into science. If acceptable answers do not come forth, we may divert energy from science into its sexier counterpart, pseudoscience. The struggling scientist who knows very little can feel unneeded in the shadow of pseudoscientists who profess wisdom. Do I profess pseudoscience? I am not wise enough to know. I hope to shed light and doubt I will cast a shadow. Allow me a flash of self pity as I smile at either prospect. Woe to me if I ever cast a pseudoscientific shadow.
We have educated some of our best people to do nothing of value. A significant portion of U.S. America's intelligentsia collects, calculates, or works to avoid federal recall of federal money. Many speculate on the affects of federal taxes and loans. Our leadership intelligentsia wastes much of its time debating how best to undertake the useless loans and monetary recall that are supposed to balance our federal budget and guide the economy.
This is high alchemy. Only smart people qualify. These sincere, talented people certainly outnumber our declared welfare recipients. Yet, despite being functionally unemployed and consuming large quantities of our resources, they often receive both respect and high pay. Imagine the boost to our economy if the efforts of this elite were recycled into beneficial work.
