With its Jack Kirby stylings, I thought this video was worth highlighting.

I’ve been seeing some of these aforementioned attributes a lot lately, when I’ve been to a number of public events on evolution and genetic manipulation in particular. Still, it’s good to see something that tries to lay it out rationally – just in case, I may be guilty myself of being close minded.

    openmindedness: good
    unwillingness to put your hypotheses to a hard test: bad
    inability to understand valid evidence: super annoying
