The thrill you get as a public intellectual from a nasty, a slam of a alternative viewpoint is the currency of public intellectual life right now. What you're suggesting is that you kno f you've finished on the allstar team, and you a thereby rewarded the people who had been visionary in endrafting you. It might change how you spoke and how you talked. You could have a negative team, a team you could have, it's like gall if you want to haveud have a high score for obnoxious people and a low score for humble people. High scores would haveto be embarrassed, and they might change what they say and do.
