I got you beat, Dok.   I'm doing it on the tax payer's dime!

I work for Big Oil.  I'm doing it directly on the tax payer's dime.   :)

Now, you can take what I have done so far as the ravings of a horrible cunt (this would be accurate), or someone who recognizes that you've been infected by a meme and is trying to get your frontal lobes to realize that (which is also accurate), or just some shithead that likes to laugh at peoples' beliefs (again, also accurate).

Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

He is after all a Doktor

And, having looked around, I think that people operating via bad memes seems to be the number one problem with the country, and probably the world.

Memes, yeah.  I call them narratives.  We seem to have little stories about how things work.  They are the wrong stories.

I find it quite amusing how many of us have ended up in similar positions.

I'll never vote against wasteful government spending again.

Its funny, but lately I've noticed Yudowsky, Terry Pratchett and Doloras (of the Chaos Marxism blog) all have almost the exactly the same take on stories:

Stories don't tell us how the world work, but they tell us how people think the world should work.  You can use that to tell people better stories.

Of course, with Pratchett, this (along with "headology") is how the witches win practically all their battles.
