Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.


"Let's use it in a sentence now. Johnny, you first"

"The occupy protesters are part of the ineptocracy movement."

Pseudoscience is a claim, belief, or practice which is presented as scientific, but which does not adhere to a valid scientific method, lacks supporting evidence or plausibility, cannot be reliably tested, or otherwise lacks scientific status. Pseudoscience is often characterized by the use of vague, exaggerated or unprovable claims, an over-reliance on confirmation rather than rigorous attempts at refutation, a lack of openness to evaluation by other experts, and a general absence of systematic processes to rationally develop theories.


Astronomy is a science; astrology is a pseudoscience.
Evolution is science; creationism is pseudoscience.
Molecular biology is science; homeopathy is pseudoscience.
Vaccination is science; the MMR scare is pseudoscience.
Oxygen is science; phlogiston was pseudoscience.
Chemistry is science; alchemy was pseudoscience.

~CYLE~ (si' cle) 1-the act of talking out ones own ass about any random subject that you know nothing about. 2-the art of taking a perfectly normal conversation to a whole new level of stupid. 3-(most widely accepted) trying to be an expert on stuff that you know SFA about.

buck, one of the two primary lessons in the book Atlas Shrugged is how that can come about and its consequences.
