I think this used to be called panic, and was attributed to the Greek god Pan (hence the word) who was believed to be the cause of the often reported uncontrollable fear that would suddenly overtake men (and horses) who were traveling deep in the woods. Anyone know?
@notofthisworld "Also, I love everyone's use of the word pragmatic! It's like one person said it and then everyone was like "well, pragmatically... well I would say that pragmatically speaking... ah yes, how pragmatic of u sir..." haha! It seems like it should be a monty python sketch!"
There should be a thirteenth panel in each comic representing, respectively, the type of Libertarian, Authoritarian, and Progressive who don't think their respective cartoons reflect the beliefs of real people.
Yes it is science. And Deirdre Barrett is a legitimate researcher at Harvard Medical School (well, if you think evolutionary psychology is legitimate.) Don't confuse the science with Remy Melina's hyperbolic brokerage. Not every scientist appreciates having their research caricatured by science journalists or even staffed communication officers.
THAT is funny!
You mean to tell me that religion was invented by folk who didn't believe it was true? What do you call those folk?
Yes. Honestly.
