October 15, 201411 yr 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.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/10486479/Phobias-may-be-memories-passed-down-in-genes-from-ancestors.html 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?
