This reminds me of the argument between the construction companies putting genuine colonial architecture and Frank Lloyd Wright.

For example, the products page of Emoto's Hado website is currently offering "geometrically perfect" "Indigo water" that is "highly charged hexagonally structured concentrate," and supposedly creates "structured water" that is "more easily assimilated at the cellular level" for $35 for an eight-ounce bottle. Chris is saying that anyone who belives that is a classic specimen of Sucker for Pseudoscience and that the Professional Bad Guys are happy to exploit such gullibility and ignorance. Here's another one: http://www.slimspurling.com/ I know about this only because I met Slim Spurling (now deceased) back in '76 when he was a blacksmith. Good smith, good teacher, cool guy but believed all kinds pseudoscientific crap. Eventually he discovered that he could make good living with gullibility and pseudoscientific mysticism and gave up smithing. - Mike -- Michael Spencer Nova Scotia, Canada .~. /V\ [email protected] /( )\ http://home.tallships.ca/mspencer/ ^^-^^ _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [email protected] https://lists.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [email protected] https://lists.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework
