What makes them tick? You’ve probably wondered about what’s wrong with folks and you’re told the world is populated with evil. Then, you can choose up sides and go fight. The problem becomes: “Then why are there evenly matched hoards duking it out on the battlefield?” This makes no sense. When you declare something to…

Laboratory science is not political science. Good science doesn’t trust itself. Science itself is based on rigorous, methodical investigation and evidential confirmation, not blind “trust”. Good scientists will probably acknowledge that nature has not given up entirely all of her secrets just yet and there may be a surprise or two around the corner. That’s…

It’s a telescoping and mind…

In the 1953 film “Lily” a young girl is comforted by puppets, until she remembers they are controlled by a carnival puppeteer. We don’t have any real idea of whether the voices we hear and the…

Invite unhappy people or antisocial individuals to voluntarily join a group that consistently practices that type of framework. 3. Let the social influence of immersion do its work.
