That's right, it doesn't make it correct. But correctness is a goal to be strived for, no?



I am not a conspiracy advocate. I think it is more a matter of inertia. People prefer their ignorance because it is easier than asking the hard questions. Especially of themselves!:shrug: "Leaders" tend to take advantage of this inertia, and use it to achieve their agenda. Hitler is a perfect example of this.

Well, mysticism isn't quite a "problem", but it is starting to impede on good science. Correctness is only natural, and I think that science will eventually prevail. We just need a better education system .

I'm glad we see it similarly. Leaders understand many things, but that doesn't automatically make then "good guys".
