Fred Reed is a smart guy. Definitely smarter than me. Closing in on seventy and anticipating the economic, cultural and political
disasters looming over the United States, the former journalist bolted to
Mexico to write away his retirement, mostly online.
Fred is that special sort of smart that sees the holes in
both sides of an argument. The great thing about being alert in that
particular way is that it generally means you are humble enough to say “I don’t
know” on a regular basis, something you never hear from the majority of scientists,
politicians and media pundits.
