Pat Condell is Absolutely Certain about Uncertainty

Pat's particular beef is religion, but I think his ideas about absolute certainty can also be applied to the blind adherence to any dogma; whether its politics, science, economics, or iApple iProducts.

These are tools for consensual paradigm building (for controlling large groups of people), but they become obsolete over time and shouldn't be pulled out on every occasion (eg. iPod for a hammer, mythology for international relations). Their relevance varies over time and space.

Your mind and its ideas should be treated like hardware and software. They should upgraded regularly or, if you are a real geek like Pat, totally hacked.
