Radical scientific and social change is strongly expedited by the fact that eventually enough people holding older ideas pass away.
If you want to change someone's mind, don't argue, provide them with an attractive community that beleives what you want them to.
Opinions as articles of faith are immune to reason and logic, the only thing they respond to is conversion.
The more prosperous a society the more time people have to construct bizarre and passionate opinions about things.

Finally, protip for spammers: Threatening people with a Google disavow if they don't clean up your garbage is less than motivating.
Also don't be surprised when I ignore your link removal requests. You wasting my time doesn't give you rights to waste more of my time.
When you spend years comment spamming my blog, don't ask me to feel bad for you when Penguin 2 crushes your business.

.@reBang Though "a little science" might actually be worse than no science at all in some cases.
Here is a big list of books and papers and things that I think people should eventually read. http://77thlevel.com/20-impo...
I think it says something interesting about the content we consume when it can be satisfactorily summarized in 140 characters.
It would be like paper newspapers and magazines getting mad that the Internet does their job better...oh wait.
I like Buzzfeed, but ultimately it's an arbitrage content strategy. Eventually someone will crack it open, @SavedYouAClick is the canary.
The implication is that we should respect the formers right to weaponize headlines while not respecting the latters to undermine them. Odd.
I think it's fascinating that sites like Buzzfeed are mad at twitter accounts like Saved You A Click. (1/2)
