Quote:Now we have the "magic 8 ball" -- the computer. By developing models that predict what they want to predict, 'scientists' can sanctify their prejudices by running them through the sacrament of 'computer model'. The outcomes are theories that are taken to be infallible because they are ex cathedra -- emitted from the college of the infallible machine and sanctified by the papacy of pseudo science. The followers of that religion can then preach their gospel of imminent doom. By serving their beliefs as facts, they lead those that are ignorant to become misinformed. Instead of taking reasonable measures at a moderate pace in acknowledgment of their ignorance, the followers of the doom preachers propose extreme measures at a panicked pace from the arrogance of their misinformation.It's really that bad?
