Our Changing Belief-Set

[threegee]

If you'd suggested that memories could be inherited a short while back you'd have likely have been ridiculed, but it seems there's hard evidence for this now.

I think a lot of "science" these days is actually pseudo-science, because you can't separate it from politics without really hard evidence. Without that evidence science follows as much of a political agenda as everything else.  This becomes especially damning when a group really wants to believe something, and has an emotional or ideological inclination and/or economic incentive to do so.  Then emphasising what suits that belief-set and de-emphasising, or trying to explain away, what doesn't suit becomes the name of the game.  But that game isn't science as it was previously represented to us; science is simply being used as a cloak.

 

Most politicians aren't bright enough to see this. As a result we get into crazy behaviour like building windmills all over the landscape to provide part-time power, and not getting on with further developing what we know provides reliable power compactly and economically.  Is this group-think behaviour much different from the ancients building stone circles and pyramids?
