So there is this guy, Mike Adams, he runs this site/shop/community/whatever which is basically a well of abysmal stupidity dissemination. At first look, there seems nothing wrong with this site, I mean it just tries to promote a more natural or drug-free lifestyle, right? Which is fine if you draw proper lines and if you understand the risks, right?

Dr Mike Egnor is a neurosurgeon, famous for his notoriously fallacious arguments and bad logic when trying to support the fairy tale that is intelligent design. He contributes to a ridiculous blog in which he often comments on news around evolution -a well of fallacies, misunderstandings of even basic evolutionary concepts, and just plain silliness. Actually, it is not even a blog: Egnor doesn’t allow comments on his posts, probably in fear of armies of people ridiculing him for his outrageously stupid way of “thinking”. Steven Novella has exposed Egnor a number of times already but he just doesn’t seem to notice… Everyone else though, has already acknowledged the vacuity in his argumentation… The term “Egnorance” was promptly and rightfully coined and is in wide use today.

I found Harry Frankfurt’s “On Bullshit” a very entertaining read. Thoroughly interesting, albeit somewhat lightweight despite the philosophical motivation of Frankfurt. It is an endeavour to understand the nature of bullshit, how it distinguishes from lies and humbug (!), and why there just seems to be so much of it nowadays!

A few days ago I received this comical comment on my post “This is what happens with the lying anti-vaccination campaigns“. This is a perfect demonstration of what I have been saying all along: that those who promote the anti-vaccination propaganda are usually stupid!

This just goes to show the stupidity flowing freely within religious organizations such as the American Family Association. Their decoration ideas for Christmas include a large Christmas Cross with 210 lights attached to it, that looks like this

Lots of concentrated woo so be careful: the top five misinformation and ignorance campaigns.

This is just a collection of the most ignorant and abysmally stupid comments I have read following Telegraph’s article on the Large Hadron Collider. The article was asking readers to provide a new, fancier name for the LHC. Be careful though! The stupidity might go over your personal threshold of tolerance! Proceed at your own risk…

There is a stupid story reported by Fox that originated at the heart of America’s finest: Dallas, Texas. It is about the reaction from a black commissioner, John Wiley Price, to the supposedly racist comments of a white commissioner. But what exactly did the latter say?
