BREAKING NEWS:
APA wanna be Til Fanny has announced his bid for Emperor Of The APA on the Crackpot Philosopher Ticket. In his announcement article Fanny bellowed the following logical reasoning…
“If answers to the deepest questions could be found within the group consensus, within that set of ideas considered sensible and reasonable, we would have already found those answers. If solutions to humanity’s most pressing challenges could be developed by operating from commonly held assumptions and mining the wisdom of the so called experts, those challenges would have already been met and conquered.
Thus I reason unto you dear voters, that what the APA should be most intensely focused on are those notions widely considered to be crackpot ideas, for it is only there that we will find anything new.
If elected to the post of Emperor I will immediately disband all committees and offices, cancel all meetings and conferences, and outlaw the publication of all fancy talk articles on obscure subjects, so that the collective genius of intelligent very well educated members of the APA can focus all it’s energy on applying crackpot ideas to the most pressing challenges faced by the modern world.”
