as a techwatch having seen what happen in LENR, pseudo-medicine, nocebo spreading, green fashion and fears, climate debate I have observed something that is named "memeplex".
I feel now that in 1989 LENR was the subject of a battle between the 21th century "neomalthusian doomer post-industrial postnormal-science naturalist" memeplex and the 19th century "progress cornucopian technology start-trek optimism humanis" memeplex that bring us to the 1960s. it was much more uncertain that I imagined and there was a real support of the cirnucopian dream... a serie of errors make tha ballance fall agains F&P, because they hide data, they did not defend their position is some key conferences, because physicist were incompetent in calorimetry yet too powerful, because seaborg launched ERAB panel with a mix of physicist lack of imagination and high level of political sense. would seaborg be in vacation, F&P present at some conferences, some semiconductor experts or chemist in key place in the DoE, it would have fallen in the other side... media, authors, sci society and science comics just locked the result of the coin toggling. today we can see that the memeplex of doom is extremely dominant to the point that medicine discovered nocebo in therapeutical studies, and laws are voted to protect diagnosticated depressive from unicorn allergy. 2014-07-18 21:02 GMT+02:00 Axil Axil <janap...@gmail.com>: > Dear Peter, > > I believe that the meme of LENR is more consequential than we can possibly > now imagine. > > Our currently held widest hopes for LENR are just the wave drenched tip of > a very big iceberg which lay far below our current understanding, > lucking just under the icy ocean of our current awareness. > > Let me now convey the full magnitude of power of the LENR meme.
