Having grown up on a college campus, I happen to know that the academic term for this phenomenon is ChickenPants-HomezyDoodle-RoostaMundo.

In one of his books, Kinky Friedman got philosophical about the Milky Way, saying that scientists know the Milky Way is composed of dust and debris while Native Americans believed it was the spirits of our ancestors watching over us. He went on to quip that's the problem with society today, too many scientists, not enough Indians. Personally, I think we need more scientists, but I get his point. Knowledge and wisdom are not always found in the same source.

Hi! It's me, the girl from the bus
Remember?
The last tour?
Well
Information is not knowledge
Knowledge is not wisdom
Wisdom is not truth
Truth is not beauty
Beauty is not love
Love is not music
Music is the best!
Wisdom is the domain of the Wis (which is extinct)
Beauty is a French phonetic corruption

Currently in resurgence

The ad campaign doesn't really need a lot of work.

Lovely thread about Kamala Harris, expect these hit pieces to be thoroughly scrubbed in the coming days:
