Pseudo-bullshit correlates with stupidity, shocker
http://gizmodo.com/scientists-are-still-...1762272253
Quote:Remember last November when Canadian scientists  using the tweets of Deepak Chopra to demonstrate how some people can interpret utter bullshit as deeply profound observations? It’s now sparked a counter-argument and a sharp rejoinder—two respectable scientists arguing about the meaning (or lack thereof) of bullshit.


Well, this is funny. I thought it was a joke at first but apparently they actually published a paper about it:

What Chopra thinks about gravitational waves[quote from the same article as linked to further above]
Quote:Incidentally, Chopra weighed in on the recent discovery of gravitational waves. Writing at the Huffington Post, he dismissed the biggest science story of the year as little more than a “red herring,” distracting us all from the true mystery surrounding quantum consciousness and the nature of reality.

So, what do you guys think? Should we pay better attention to the information we receive or what?
