9. I post mostly for entertainment.
Edited on Thu Dec-10-09 01:51 PM by GliderGuider
Convincing people of one thing or another on a board like this has absolutely no discernible impact on the real world. If I had a "purpose" I'd be out in the world, not here. Posting here is purely social for me. I'm interested in these issues, so I post on a board where others share that interest. No great agenda here.

Similarly, I'm not trying to "discredit a huge body of empirical evidence". I'm just saying I don't believe it will be implemented. I see the barriers to implementation more as shortcomings in human neuropsychology than any deficiency in the evidence. You say "could", I say "probably won't".
