Rather than entertain the pseudo-intellectual pop psychology
sophistry of these journalists, we need a stronger industry lobby to
thwart these representations in the media and the government.
Computer types have this bad habit of thinking they don't have to
play politics.  They like sitting at terminals and often don't like
extroverted wars of public opinion.  Well, screw that!  We need to
be telling the world what to think before the world tells us what
we're allowed to think, based on some silly numbers that bolstered
some PhD's academic career.

Yep and my Dad defended Big Tobacco.  There's a need.

20% of the world is real.
80% is gobbledygook we make up inside our own heads.
