This Week’s Quote: “Politics is an extension of war by other means…Once you know which side you’re on, you must support all arguments of that side, and attack all arguments that appear to favor the enemy side…People who would be level-headed about evenhandedly weighing all sides of an issue in their professional life as scientists, can suddenly turn into slogan-chanting zombies when there’s a Blue or Green position on an issue.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky
Note: The Bogosity Podcast will be taking two weeks off for the Thanksgiving holidays. (All right, all right, and the Doctor Who 50th anniversary as well!) See you in December!
