Sea Monkeys, Barnum, Biblical Giants and Humbug

This article from the NY Times magazine has absolutely nothing to do with politics…except for this one little nugget that I just had to smirk at:

In his own way, P.T. Barnum was the greatest cognitive scientist of the 19th century. He understood that when you pit humbug against harsh cold reality, reality doesn’t stand a chance. Knowing this explains so much — World Wrestling, Taco Bell, Donald Trump.

Excelsior!
