Who cares what Joy Behar thinks about anything? Another piece Dave sent along recently seems relevant to this: Paging Dr. Marx.
It is hardly surprising, then, that intellectuals who claim not only to be rationalists but rational are often drawn to gnostic doctrines that claim to reveal the hidden meaning not just of something, but of everything about human existence. Marxism, Freudianism, and, in its most recent form, Darwinism are examples such doctrines. For many, they held, or hold, the key to reality as Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy held the key to the Scriptures.Even I wouldn't insult intellectuals by counting Joy Behar among them, but the editor of Lancet I'm sure is one. Indeed, he sounds like a hopeless case.
