As with firearms, defibrillators are only as good or as bad as the hands and minds of the rational, moral agents who use them. And you’d want to stop the bleeding before using a defibrillator at a crime scene, terrorist attack, or war zone.
Talk about missing the point. Was I seriously proposing everyone carry around a d…[Read more]

I’m still waiting for flying cars.
BTW, while something like the Internet was predicted, nobody I’m aware of predicted the effects it’s had on, well, the world.

Stega,
Be safe, don’t overexert yourself in the snow, and keep the mind active against “cabin fever.”
We’ll know something is wrong if we see an entry that keeps repeating:
“All work and no play make Strega a dull girl.
All work and no play make Strega a dull girl.
All work and no play make Strega a dull girl…”

Unseen,
See the movie science myths article in the new secion I created on Mythbusting.

Fellow Unbelievers,
Alvin Toffler once said that two words he never used were “trend” and “predict.” With trends and predictions like this, it’s easy to see why:

Fellow Unbelievers,
In keeping with the idea that the solution to bad speech or false speech is not censorship but good speech and true speech, I though I would create a section devoted to just that.
For starters, since movies can be a source of Misinformation/Disinformation/Malinformation (MDM *GROWL!* 🦁) here is an article on scientific…[Read more]

On Frans de Waal (from The Guardian)
The honor he was proudest of, however, was the Ig Nobel prize – awarded for research that “makes people laugh, then think” – he won in 2012 with a colleague, Jennifer Pokorny, for a paper showing that chimps can recognize each other by their bottoms.

Jake,
Enco, yeah that is messed up. But it is business as usual. Nothing unusual.
Trump is deranged and has a personality that is inherently incompatible with power. He has shown his cards. He has no regard for our government. He is a clear and present danger if he is elected. How much more would he have to exhibit before you would concede…
