Question about the creature may be 'are we a rational being, or irrational'
as a main guiding force? I argue that it is our emotions that define us as
'living'; otherwise, just machines. Statistics can still predict what we do
within a margin of error.

A 2007 warning: the world's twelve worst ideas
Fred Halliday
8 - 1 - 2007

The world is full of conformism masquerading as profundity, says Fred
Halliday, who explodes twelve global falsehoods.

In identifying error, two great models at either end of modern times
exist. The first is part thirty-nine of Francis Bacon's Novum Organon
(1620), with its four categories of idol: those of the cave (of
individual men), the tribe (human nature), the marketplace (intercourse
of men with each other) and the theatre (philosophical dogma). The
second is Francis Wheen's How Mumbo-Jumbo Conquered the World: A Short
History of Modern Delusions (2004).

Help! The consensus is melting...
A common claim of the global warming lobby is that there is an
overwhelming consensus of scientists that man-made global warming is
for real. Well, that consensus is looking less and less overwhelming as
the days pass. Here's what some distinguished scientists have told
the Canadian Prime Minister in an open letter:

I applaud every time I see a white girl on the arm of a black guy; a
yellow man with a brown girl; a pink man with a tan girl becuae they
have had the courage to realise what a dumb fuck like you will never
know and the courage to make wankers like you cringe. They know that we
are all one species and are only separated by ignorance and stupidity.
They know that the colour of skin is no more relevant than the colour
of eyes. They might also know that the worse thing we can do as a
species is to choose a mate within our own clade. Becasue racial
purity is a lie and only leads to inbred mindless fuck-wits like you.

No, this shit will never make sense.
And yes, it is well out of place - but I will excuse you because you
are probably racially "pure" and therefore a bit inbred and sadly not
very mentally capable: poor thing!
Don't worry maybe you are sterile too and your genes will disappear
from the gens pool with any luck.
