How the professions fare
Following the classification at the
Wikipedia, this is how I rate the
professions in regards to their
use of the Scientific Method

Mathematical Physicists
Philosophers, Theists
Street bum, hobo, wino
Of course, you may complain that I am being too generous,
especially with the Mathematical Physicists, but keep in mind
that I am an easy grader and don't like to offend people.

Anthropologists, Paleontologists, Atheists
Explanation:
Street bum, hobo, wino. These are typically the great philosophers. Socrates was a mason. They have
street smartness.
Anthopologists, paleontologists, atheists: The problem here is arrogance. These folks usually believe
they know it all. They are relatively rational when explaining mundane theories.
Philosophers, theists: These people are usually off their rocker, especially the professional
philosopher. He goes around and around about petty stuff such as whether a hole or a shadow is an
object, or whether Socrates exists or just is.
Mathematical Physicists: These have to be the most stupid people on the planet. They go to the
university for ten years, get a Ph. D., and then babble about wormholes, time travel, and point particles
that appear out of nowhere. They say there is something called dark matter and another thing called
energy. They claim that the universe is made of 1-D strings. They have no rivals.
