If I ever have a problem with my brain (beyond the obvious pre-existing ones) I have a very strict rule about any neurologist I go to see. Specifically, I don’t want to be treated by a career neurologist. I’m not interested in someone who has spent their life immersed in the swamp of Big Neurology. No siree. I will insist on a neurologist who at most has dabbled in brain stuff a little bit, or, preferably, will never have thought of any other brain with his own brain before in his life.

Now, you may be thinking, “Daylin, you are an idiot”. You may have been thinking that a long time. And that’s because you have a brain, probably one that was not operated on by the doctor I plan to use. But that, knowing-stuff-is-bad and experience-is-evil mindset is the philosophy behind many insane presidential boomlets in recent years. Most recently, it has brought us the rumored plan of presidential candidate and human bucket of conspiracies RFK Jr. to choose Jets Quarterback and fellow achilles-tendon sufferer Aaron Rogers as his Vice-President.

To be clear, because it is both obvious and utterly unbelievable, I mean Vice President of the United States.

Even putting aside the horrific Sandy Hook denialism and vaccine wackiness that attracted Kennedy to Rogers, and putting aside the fact…
