"You're cooking what for dinner?" Is another Simpsons line in the same vein, so I'm not a *complete* dick. |

Arizona joke was brilliant. Almost as good as Wong's jab about giving the peace prize money to the military. And the CNN joke may as well have been a Daily Show bit. |

It's not that they don't know it's just a movie, it's that they don't know real life isn't. |

Great jokes, horrible audience. They liked the China owning US debt joke though. I'm guessing it's because they've heard it enough that they can be certain that it's a joke. And jokes are funny!

It's "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" and I have no idea how I invented a newer longer title for it. |

Those comments are nausea-inducing.
I started reading "Influence: The Science of Social Persuasion" because it was recommended on here (it is in fact very good). Anyway there is a story about two guys hawking transcendental meditation as a way to levitate, cure insomnia, syphilis maybe, who knows. The author of "Influence" (a research psychologist) was there with a logician friend, who tore the TM guys apart during Q&A. The TM guys still made a killing that night, and were clearly baffled by this. The author began talking to other audience members, who said things like, "it's a good thing your friend raised all those points, because I know if I'd gone home without buying the tapes, I would have thought more about what he'd said and decided against it. But I really want to cure my ____ so I bought them before I started doubting it."
Anyway, long story but, I see much of the same behavior in this: tortured parents who need to find SOME way to help their autistic kids, who could be shown all of the great science in the world to to prove that campaigning against vaccinations isn't helping anyone. But it's all they have, it's tied up with their hope, and so they will never ever let go.
The problem, of course, is that they're fucking it up for the rest of us in terms of herd immunity. Their irrational thinking doesn't just hurt their kids, it hurts other people's kids. Look up the effect the Wakeman study alone had on virus outbreaks in the UK. Why are we ok with (for instance) doing so much to prevent people from smoking pot, but then we let parents have this inviolate freedom to trot their little bundles of sick to school without vaccinations? Fuck. That. |
