a credulousness Test? ;^>
Ans: a (er, qualified-) Yes. Both.
Since we've established via mob-consensus [certain sorts of mobs + many 'issues'] that, much of that which we sorta-know/even lots we think we Know..
..well, Ya 'Know' ... nobody Evah completely cleans-out that jumbled mental attic, now do we?
(Isn't that situation designed to keep-us-humble?) Then Why do Dictators and wannabes Count on it!?)
I so confused, but at least Uncertainty is Honest (up to a Point--wherever.t.f. That is..)
T.G.I.F. (depending.. on your fav calendar, of course.)
Ed: On Sci-Fri: Book mentioned, "What If?" (scientific answers to {bizarre?} hypothetical questions) like say:
What If the machines grow smarter and we [..continue to] grow dumber??
Uh huh.. ... uh huh.. huh.. huh..
(Father? on show describes reading aloud some of its short quips to teen: teen not well-informed, no science chops, isn't a voluntary-Reader etc.. Son asks to see the book. Two hours later he says, "I have to buy this book." (Umm, maybe not Father--surely he'd share?)
Then, by Nancy Klein/Kline? (Canadian) This Changes Everything. Caller-in calls it "best science book/also most important book" (I've read.) Describes AGW not only in physics terms but Political, with (per critic) some decent analyses of human institutions/such as they Are. (Someone who also worked with that author, happened to be on Sci-Fri today!)
