It is the microprocessor arithmetic feature that powers the computer not the memory cells full of stored data, not the video disk full of hoarded information. It is the central processing unit that ratio’s, calculates, accounts, and converts information into knowledge, into doing it. Likewise for the fruitless human brain occupied with limited specialized data. Unprocessed information is only unrefined ineffective data.

The liberal institutions of higher education, the scholars, employ their constricted enlightenments to trump the logic and reasoning of wide-ranging scientific deliberations, those seeking truth.  Scholars with PHD’s behind their names believe themselves to be scientists-plus. Scholar, from the word SCHOOL, implies a learned person, and by definition someone who has had advanced training and instruction in a restricted field, able to PERFORM.

Animals can be trained and instructed to do specific tasks. Animals can be clever and cunning, but never ingenious. By definition, scholars are narrow minded to specific fields, and, by behavior scholars are mainly liberal and limited in scope and talents.

Liberalism is irrational. Opinions and assertions are incongruous with observations, logic, and reasoning powers. It is logic that directs the intellectual powers in the investigation of truth, and communicating it to others.   Logic, from logos or reason, is that discipline that deals with the principles and criteria of sound deduction and revelation. Logic is the art of thinking and reasoning justly. Logic is the discipline of the principles of reasoning, a branch of knowledge dealing with relevance, weight, and consequence. Correct thinking implies correct reasoning. 

Liberalism is a mental disease. Deductive reasoning is the power of comprehending, inferring, and thinking in an orderly rational way. Reasoning is the gifted exercise of the intellect, distinct from "THINKING".  Sanity is reasoning, using the sum of intellectual powers. Reason, to ratio, is to calculate, to account, to explain, and to justify. It is to establish the underpinning that sustains a conclusion or explains a fact. It is making some fact intelligible. It is connecting effect to cause and cause to effect. It is seeing the dots, and connecting the dots, that theater of the mind that specialized scholars of letters lack.
