My Frontier Thesis said...: ...the problem isn't scientific, it's psychological: if you're prepared to believe that government agents went to the trouble of researching, say, gay rugby player Mark Bingham's family background and vocal characteristics so they could fake cellphone calls back to his mom, then clearly you're not going to be deterred by mere facts.

I've a friend who forwarded this conspiracy theory to me a couple months ago. After I systematically deconstructed the entire conspiracy, I realized that he wanted to believe that a government conspiracy was true instead of what I was saying.

Because he's a good friend, I told him he better quit talking about it because I didn't think I could prevent myself, as a government agent, from slapping the shit out of him — of course, to keep the conspiracy theory under wraps.; 9/02/2006 6:01 PM
Tecumseh said...: I smell a Betrand Russell type of paradox somewhere in those circular arguments, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Maybe JJ (after I explained to him today the finer points of taking the derivative and setting it to 0, as a means to understand what Cingular stands for) can fathom out the logic of it.; 9/02/2006 10:50 PM
