Nutty Ideas

(7)

Which brings us to the definition of 'nutty ideas.' Hmm. Nutty ideas grow like grass out of everyday existence, most never rising above 'the level of noticability.' Only when some recognized societal personage (like Pat Robertson) espouses such an idea does a nutty idea rise into the realm of public scrutiny.

The definition of a nutty idea is that it must be irrelevant, unimportant, soothing, and ludicrous. The keyword here is 'soothing.' Nutty ideas sooth their hosts. Hence they survive, like friendly parasites avoiding irritation. Damn this is fun.
