There is a scene in the film Back to the Future that I think of often lately. In it, Marty McFly, after traveling to the past in a time machine invented by Doc Brown, is trying to convince a much younger Doc that he is indeed from the future by knowing the president of the United States in the future.
The scene is actually funnier here in 2018 than it was in 1985 given the propensity of show business types to decide that, based on their vast experience in the make believe world of show business, they should bring their questionable talents to government. If that sentence doesn’t give you a hint how I feel about the trend, then go back and read it again.
