John Cleese proves once again that it's not a good idea to eff with John Cleese

Seeing Trump's recent London tweet reminds me of the 9th Beatitude : Blessed are the stupid, for their confidence makes them so easy to spot




You're wrong. He's right.




Thank you for explaining it so well

Sorry for my mistake !!

Seriously...Re-read what I said. It's about you

authoritarianism is sometimes measured with the UAI or uncertainty avoidance index.

another way to say that is authoritarians need certainty more than others.

since nothing is certain it must be created. that takes creativity and denial of reality. people with trump-like certitude live in fantasy worlds and are capable of massive levels of denial.

the irrational need for certainty is related to a mental disorder sometimes referred to as 'groganzola', which is caused when impatient satisfaction-demanding reproductive energy is diverted to the wrong side of the brain, the side for logic and numbers.

this guy explains what causes groganzola:

In another tweet, John Cleese says:
"pay attention to Tony Schwartz, he is the co-author of Trump's 'The Art of the Deal' and he spent a lot of time with him."

To Adrian Wachowiak: "YOU'RE wrong, John Cleese is right!"
