Obama Administration Unveils $4B Plan to Jump-Start Self-Driving Cars

I understand why you feel the need to resort to an honestly silly jab like that, but you are literally being full of yourself and it's important that people tell you that, otherwise your chances of maturing beyond that are less than ideal.

To explain; Your qualifications are nothing of any substantial worth what-so-ever-at-all, especially since they're just words on some internet forum and literally nothing more than that, yet you honestly act as if you were some actual studied professor, who mind you, wouldn't be so brash as to make such a ridiculous statement such as you did. If you're going to say something like, "This is why I know what I'm talking about.", you shouldn't be so incredibly lazy as to not substantiate your claims with solid worthwhile evidence, otherwise, what's the point at all? Would you publish a paper without citing sources? Without showing or demonstrating in some real way that your work is even worth glancing at? Of course not. Why do you think talking to another person would be any different? Anyone can say anything, especially on the internet where socializing is not nearly as time sensitive and where you have an unlimited resource to information at your finger tips.

Hey, I'm a Doctor, an Astronomer and the second coming of Christ himself.

Do you believe that? Of course you don't. So why should anyone else? So let me ask you then, do you think an honestly intelligent and studied person would make such a youthful mistake like that? No. So you've shown in multiple ways now that you're not someone who is honestly worth listening to. And you know that. God, I hope you know that. You have undoubtedly worked hard in life to get where you're at today and I'm sure you have a bit o' chip on your shoulder because of it, but I'm sorry to say that you are definitely still a nobody. You may have some modicum amount of knowledge, but you clearly still lack any convincing intelligence at all as you've unwittingly demonstrated here.

It's ridiculous to pretend to know how people would vote or respond in a situation that has never existed before, which is to also presume that the general consensus of society is a static thing, which it is not. Yet here you are, making such claims in such a way. It is honestly ridiculous. I mean really, we could go back and forth all day with supporting evidence to either side. If you know anything, you at least know that much. So why make such a stupid claim? As if you were worth listening to? And if you had such a worthwhile opinion? You clearly don't, as revealed through your own inadvertent and unwitting confessions.

People who are not told that they are being full of themselves tend not to grow out of it because they feel like they can get away with it. I hope you continue to learn and grow and become a person who is actually worth listening to someday. You've surely worked hard, but you're not there yet, so be a bit more humble and be a bit more cautious. And don't be so goddamn lazy. People will take you far more seriously.
