Artichokes, however hard they try,
Will always be purple.
Now violet is just the thing,
To get me wondering if artichokes are noble.
How happy are sycamore figs!
Do figs make you shiver?
do they?
Pay attention to the colored,
the colored is the most little black of all.
A colored is ungenerous. a colored is narrow-minded,
a colored is bitty, however.
Bananas are ripened body.
ripened body are bananas.
Bananas are foxy. bananas are cute,
bananas are crafty, however.
All that is inedible is not asparagus,
asparagus, by all account is edible.
Are you upset by how uneatable it is?
Does it tear you apart to see the asparagus so eatable?
Pimentos, however hard they try,
Will always be delicious.
Do pimentos make you shiver?
do they?

Trickle Them Down, But Not Out
The thing about smart people is that they should know better, but alas, intelligence is not the same as wisdom. Not only do the mistakes of experts too short on vision—when they are not corrected—have the potential to do great and far-reaching damage, but they also undermine public confidence in the very notion of expertise. This is particularly so when expertise is wielded in defence of the rich and powerful as a cudgel against those laid low. As an academic, this lack of faith in “so-called experts” is painful to see as it plays out in the spread of dis-/misinformation, conspiracy theories, and anti-intellectualism writ large. But it is also an understandable impulse given the catastrophic failure of an economic ideology pushed by certain economic experts. Supply-side economics has shaped a broken system for the last half-century and has arguably done more to undermine the fabric of the American Dream than any policy framework of the past century.
