Oh dear
Here's my list of Top 5 motion pictures I least expect to find available in the classic movie section of the in-flight entertainment system...
1. Moonraker
2. Mission Impossible 2
3. Outbreak
4. The Satan Bug
5. I am Legend
In case you haven't noticed there are one or two common themes

The comments on torture there are shocking...
Not exactly front page news
I bet they wouldn't show this.
Did they have any of these on the flight? Surely they'd find room for 28 Days/Weeks Later and Planet Terror?

It is a very *indirect* route
Off line for a wee while yet
and yes, I'm missing this blog
and Lord Patel's :(

Not that I like any of those two.
Why do people don't see that they *themselves* can fall prey to heuristics and biases? Why do many many people think that only *other* people make mistakes? On the other hand, I try to stay critical of my own judgement but this is not very healthy if overdone. Sometimes I envy people that are so sure of themselves that they can ignore all the mistakes they make...
And if you want to go insane, here's a list of patterns to avoid:

Have fun driving yourself nuts!
We just were not properly built for a rational world...

thank you
I would have missed that Monbiot piece if it wasn't for your link
and the answer to your question I think is that the boundless human capacity for blind faith in Wrong is an essential requirement for continued survival
the evolution/ creation of self awareness was undoubtedly a very marvellous thing
but if that self-awareness is evolved/ created to such a point that the self-aware creature is aware of how plain fucking ignorant it is then that might prove to be just a little bit of a practical problem in getting on with its daily life
