The Venn Diagram of Irrational Nonsense

1. Can’t see Neoliberal Economics there… probably should be at the intersection of Religious and Pseudoscientific… 🙂

   • Heh heh heh… good point, SM… 😀

     Religious/Pseudoscientific would be ideal.

     The weird thing is that when I first saw that Venn Diagramme (Facebook?), there were several categories I had never even heard of.

     Kinda ironic really; our science is delving into the very basic unit of creation; we can see back to the first 100,000 years of the Big Bang (to the microwave background boundary); understand the workings of the human brain… and yet people search for “knowledge” in the most unlikely places.

     Is our yearning for faith-based belief so strong?

     “Angels”? “Ear candles”?! *facepalm*

   • Right along with Marxism and Socialism then.

     • Why do you immediately associate the “left” with Marxism and Socialism? Does it not occur to you that the ideas of the “left” are broader?

       • Why do you and/or others associate the ideas of the right with neo-liberalism?

         • Why do you think we shouldn’t?

   • Good observation and reasoning Spacemonkey.

     This Venn diagram could also be used as a political compass, I’d say National and Act would feel right at home in the intersection of Religious, Quackery and Pseudoscientific Bollocks.
