'Spooky Action at a Distance' Confirmed by New Quantum Experiment | IFLScience

Of course they emphasize "Einstein was wrong", that's how you get readers!

What they barely attempt to explain is that Einstein merely voiced an opinion on something outside his specific field.

Most readers will overlook the most important line: "In so doing, their work backs up years of research"

Beards as badges of honour.

I found this especially amusing given my current appearance (relaxing at home today) , the fact that I'm reading this on a smartphone with a 5.5" screen, and my actual job involves making and selling jewellery.

The GMO Conspiracy

A big issue that I see discussed often (and which seems to be a hot-button for some people I know personally - sorry folks, some of you won't like this much) is GMOs. After a recent incident where a well-known scientist had made cautionary statements about their prevalence, then later announced publicly that he had changed his mind, I did a little a research on the matter inspired by - but in a slightly different direction from - someone else's post [1]. That one is an interesting read, and gives some little-known information on the history of public opinion's "Most Evil Corporation" [2].

"No Right" vs. "No Business"

In my post earlier, I mentioned my belief that those who don't understand an issue have "no business" affecting decisions related to that issue. Completely by coincidence, (because it's near enough impossible that any of the bloggers involved have read my introductory post the day I posted it), this post made its way to me via the Richard Dawkins Foundation, which does an excellent job of clarifying the difference between "no business" and "no right".

On the “right” to challenge a medical or scientific consensus

Hello World!

Hi there, welcome to my new opinion blog! I'm hoping to generate some discussions on the topics I cover here, so please do use the comment section at the bottom of each post.

My first real post will be auto-posted tomorrow morning, but I expect that I'll be stirring up some strong reactions among the Internet-Activism crowd right off the bat, so for today, here's an introduction to who I am, to give you an idea of what may be to come.
