What it is about SC&A? Take a look at this post: Terry Schiavo, Who Cares? You ready?

No one likes having to deal with the chronically ill. They can be very, shall we say, messy. The impaired require round the clock care, medical attention, drugs and constant supervision. Having to care for an impaired person around impacts a lot of people. Social lives are curtailed, vacations become harder to come by and the constant focus on the sick person gets old, fast. Friends don’t want to hear or even care about your sick relatives. If you persist with the care giving, well, you just aren’t fun anymore. People you know would much rather talk about their jobs, cars, investments, politics, self esteem, sex, music, home decorating, clothes, fine dining, mortgages and of course Desperate Housewives and Sex in the City reruns- you know, the important things in life.

So here’s the bottom line.

We need to support a logical and compassionate Eugenics program. That’s right- only those that are worthy, as decided by the courts and a few doctors, shall be allowed to live.

Pretty powerful stuff, heh?

We had a discussion over email the other day - about 8 of us–about SC&A. Some people just don’t “get” his blog, or his statements. Somehow, I totally understand the dry humor, the sarcasm, the witicism that he demonstrates in such a brilliant but restrained monty python fashion.

For Example:

SC&A 101: From the Author is the explanation of what this blog is about, since so many of the new readers coming there are looking around thinking, WTF?

It has been brought to our attention that some of our readers don’t quite ‘get’ SC&A.

With that in mind, we wish to explain the SC&A blog, and by extension, the author.

The SC&A blog voice is a parody and an exaggeration of the personas of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and Alfred Adler. Anyone with even a cursory knowledge of those individuals and their schools of thought, should be able to see and understand those voices. It is also true that having an undergraduate degree in anything but psychology, to some extent, precludes the reader from fully grasping the concept, notwithstanding the two or three psych classes they may have taken.

One of my favorite SC&A quotes is: “Stupidity is a commodity, given to man in great abundance, by God.”

He shows up at the most opportune times and makes the most brilliant observations. He’s been around Cao’s blog for some of the most interesting exchanges!

So he blogs here on Some Smart People Are Idiots, here are some pearls of wisdom:

In a recent conversation with a friend- a brilliant one at that- SC&A came to a startling, and even remarkable, conclusion:

Lots of smart people are idiots.

Profound.

Now to be clear, idiots come in many varieties. There are the idiots who we review. They are classic idiots, with no sense of anything other than their self absorbed, mundane lives.The only determination to be made is just how much of an idiot they really are.

I suppose this is what I privately call: the idiot evaluation factor. It is something to do while listening to a blithering idiot, can be done while maintaining eye contact, and the secret to this evaluation is rating on a scale from 1-10. (1 being a semi-idiot, 10 being a full blown idiot) The fact that you’re processing this information while looking them straight in the face, with a look of utter and total concentration, makes it appear as though you’re taking what they’re saying seriously. Which you can laugh about later, when they’re gone.

The second type of idiot is the one who thinks he/she/it are in a position to offer a fair critique. Usually, they refer to us in a highly sexualized manner, often displaying a rather obsessed view of certain sexual tendencies. This is usually followed by name calling. Generally speaking, they are overcompensating for latent sexual feelings, but we’ll leave that between them and their mothers. You know who you are- and so do we.

It’s relatively easy to recognize when they start talking about bodily functions, sex acts, or a combination of both.

To be clear, those types of idiots are irrelevant. In fairness, for the most part, they are young, and inexperienced in nuance and subtly- which perhaps explains their obsession with cartoons. These are the same people who see profound wisdom in Cartman of South Park. As a rule, their greatest achievement was a day care graduation ceremony. They find brilliance only in themselves (maybe we should get them a new trophy).

He often points out they have a lot of trophies to show and point to how great they are. I have in fact, worked for a lot of them. One guy had a trophy room in his basement, complete with animal heads and stuffed birds he had shot and mounted. Sometimes people would give him their mounted animals, not knowing what to do with them, and he would evaluate them for their–trophy value–and if they were of high enough quality, he would clean them up and add them to his collection of trophy manliness.

At any rate we don’t read those brilliant blogs- and neither should you. Your time would be best spent actually learning something, keeping up with the news or expanding your rather pedestrian minds. Consider these pages as good starting points. Try and spend some time here, here, or here.

SC&A points to his own blog. Brilliant. What a master. And yet, some people still don’t get it. They never will. I very much enjoy him when he visits, and like to go over and see what’s cookin’ over there. Go and pull up a couch. Very entertaining.
