A joke: Child says to teacher " This multiplication table thing, has it been peer reviewed?"

Comment by Shari

ME:

The best way to spread a basic point is with humor.

But one should hit basics any way one can. I feel very lonely doing it.

For example, if someone defends peer review, I ask them, "What is the difference between peer reiew and a self-appointed bureaucracy?"

And then there is the question no respectable conservative EVER asks, "What IS racism?"

I hope this kind of thinking doesn't get frozen with my head at Alcor.
