Recoiling in intellectual revulsion

Recently I’ve been somewhat demoralized by the intellectual poverty on display throughout the web. It’s getting beyond my ability to keep up with it – i.e., namely, with the intellectual impoverishment. That godforsaken Science Blog website flourishes, where they pay hacks to boldly come out and defend the consensus that everyone accepts anyway. William Dembski just keeps deleting comments that make him weary over at the Panda’s Descent blog, or whatever they are calling it now. And don’t get me started on so-called “global cooling,” which is not a viable alternative to the standard dribbling lunacy.

Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the scientist of this age? I have defeated them thus far. Who is left? I assume my readers are familiar with vast corners of the Internet where there are worthy opponents. Where are they? Please hyperlink them to me.

The Dancing Wu Li Masters

PZ Myers has alerted my attention to a wonderful article in Science. Basically, some researchers are challenged with expressing their scholarly work through the medium of interpretive dance. Have you ever heard of such a thing?

The winning video is at the bottom of the article, under “popular choice.” It is incidentally the most boring.

The best is – and here I am in rare agreement with Dr. Myers – the graduate student video, on the benefits of Vitamin D. I’ll post it here!
