Could he control matter and tap into the universal cosmic consciousness? Did he travel through the singularity to escape the ranger's punishment? How does a ranger punish a bear for stealing pic-a-nic baskets? and then we get into the whole ethical concept of a Yogi who steals to survive instead of getting by on alms...I'm so confused as to why he is called a Yogi?!!!!

Yogi Bear's name is a nod to Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra, a famous baseball catcher and manager in the Major Leagues. From Wikipedia:
He picked up his more famous nickname from a friend who said he resembled a Hindu holy man (yogi) they had seen in a movie, whenever Berra sat around with arms and legs crossed waiting to bat, or while looking sad after a losing game. (Years later, the Hanna-Barbera cartoon character Yogi Bear was named after Berra, something Berra did not appreciate after he started being periodically addressed as "Yogi Bear.").

Thus, Berra's nicknamed is coincidentally responsible for the Smarter Than Your Average Bear you see today.

Maybe Yogi thought He knew everything.
That would explain why they said He was Smarter Than Your Average Bear!

I think this Yogi was named after a baseball coach - Yogi Berra.
