Over the next few months, several cognitive science books will be coming out that look really interesting. I thought I'd list a few of them, in case you're interested in checking them out once they're published.
I have returned from a day and a half away, involving a freak late-April snowstorm and a huge pileup on the highway (I was not involved in it except that it backed up traffic for what seemed like about 20 miles) and some fun as well.
Is it like standing unarmed in front of a column of tanks?
Or is it more like following someone blindly off a cliff into a pool whose depth you do not know?

This wonderful. Imaginary friends are a problem? Yep. Two of the most famous imaginary friends are Jesus and God. It seemed the priest was on the verge of making that crucial distinction.

A similar story from the middle east would have the tag line "90 % of Saudis pray five times a day."
So, who's better?
oh my! wow! thanks for the warning.
Acceptance of pseudo-science will deiclne when orthodox science becomes, shall we say, more scientific.I have no clue what definition of orthodox science you are using, but by my definition if orthodox science is acting like pseudo-science then it is definitely not orthodox.As for you examples, they merely indicate that science can get things spectacularly wrong (I never claimed otherwise, but it still gets things right more often than anything else), though it is worth noting that your examples of “race science” and eugenics are two theories that, while they began within orthodox science, they gained most of their prominence within the pseudo-science community.
