The 29th Meeting of The Sceptics' Circle...
Thursday, March 02, 2006 → by DanieruIn prose nor dialectic,
equality you'll find,
but semantic perspiration,
of testosteron-ic kinds.
Today's sceptical enquiries,
their beauty will astound,
an inner neutral wonder,
in Haiku can be found.
But please whilst idly glancing,
debating inner scathings,
think to yourself in half-rhyme:
Where are all the sceptic ladies?
Here are this Circle's submissions:
May Mu - surely the inspiration behind all scepticism - find you today...
If hacking terror, | Whippet goes missing brought out a psychic searcher: Five thousand reward. Lord Runolfr |
For paranoia, cannabis is your enemy. The truth stays hidden. Martin Rundkvist | Religion is trite. Like grandpa's magical ring: symbolic of lies. BigHeathenMike |
Transhumans daydream Utopia in motion: Science cast as God. Mr. Danieru | You are self obsessed, a perceptual black-hole: Mu don't even exist... Mr. Danieru |
Hydrogen 2 Ohmmmm, | Those Internet memes reflect our innate nature: Sociopathic. Plittle |
Cancer pathogen? Healthy herbal medicine? No, it's Chaparral. EoR | Why Doctors Data? |
If my cells can think, Did untelligent design come to mediate? Daniel | Ethics averted by judgment on autism: the scars never heal. Jonathan Semetko |
The Admiral's flight Found mammoths long since extinct: A Hollow theory. John J. McKay | Unconscious bias tips the objective balance: your reason is flawed. Adam Lee |
Is docility so really worth attaining? Chemically Castrate!?! Orac | "Das ist das Fliegen (pause for dramatic effect) Spagheti Monster!" Orac |
Religious fervour v. Scientific rigour: A truce unlikely. Todd Crane | A huge convergence of major conspiracies in RFID. Mike Nilsen (thanks for the Haiku!) |
Science under fire! So, batten down the hatches! Scepticism ahoy! Phil Plait | Their untelligence, akin to designed numbers, can't spot the nonsense! Josh Rosenau |
That was the 29th Sceptics' Circle! I hope you enjoyed the broad variety of Mu on show. Next host is Paige’s Page on March 16th. Let's hope all those sceptical ladies resolve themselves out of the mists by then...
UPDATE: For anyone who was wondering exactly what a 'Mu Haiku' is - here's the very first Huge Entity - Mu post - or alternatively browse through these entries to get a more up to date idea...

I suggested that skepticism is a non-controversial part of middle class male behaviour, with New Age activities the accepted counterpart for ladies. So none of us is actually thinking independently: we're just cattle, doing what's expected of us.
The really free Übermensche are the female skeptics and the male new agers. Neither of whom are very many.

Top to bottom, front to back,
I'm satiated.
