Any examples of such propositions to share?
- Chiba-City 6y agoHN itself is full of wonderful "counter-intuitive" narratives. College is the road to riches? We've heard Peter Thiel and others explain otherwise. "Health food bars" aren't just candybars? Whey protein doesn't just ruin kidneys? Daiquiri mix isn't just (overpriced) kool aid? DNC/GOP (partisans) correlates to "conservative/liberal" and also "right/left." Journalists stringing together "southern, conservative, Christians" seem to forget MLK and his kindred churches (I worked for Unitarians at Harvard). Might we consult George Lemaitre (Big Bang) and Gregor Mendel (Genetics) (both Christians monks) about the "Science vs. Religion" conflict? We can go on and on about "what everyone knows" that was never and shall never be the case. And Darwin himself wrote that Herbert Spencer's fictitious "Social Darwinism" was pure idiocy. I wish I could red pen correct all of TV and old wives tale "common sense" here, but I can't :/
- Chiba-City 6y agoBTW, notice how our very phrase "counter-intuitive" largely indicates credible consensus contradicting TV narratives, commercial advertising, news "headlines" and fragment's of yesterday's propaganda. Credible consensus is not even "counter-intuitive."
