From The Onion

Today, I'll simply offer a link to an article on a satirical magazine's website.

This link, specifically, is to an article on a theoretical alternative to Newtonian gravity, "intelligent falling."

The object of the satire of course is the notion, devised by lawyers for the benefit of theologians who pretend to be biologists, that "intelligent design" is a serious scientific hypothesis, and thus ought to be taught in science classes as an alternative to the idea of speciation through natural selection.

Without further ado, here is the link.

Pragmatism Refreshed

Knowledge is warranted belief -- it is the body of belief that we build up because, while living in this world, we've developed good reasons for believing it. What we know, then, is what works -- and it is, necessarily, what has worked for us, each of us individually, as a first approximation.
