mircea_popescu: "This is the whole gimmick of media, not polar but triangular, right, left, middle, mobilizing an army of assonauts to feel strongly enough about something that they don't do anything."
mircea_popescu: it's really very much an open topic, which is why the "evidence based" court's bitch goes all in for "mri scans!"
