Noble to Nobel

I finished that Nobel scientist's book. Very good read, I can't believe I read it so fast. Next up is "In Exile from the Land of Snows", which is 'the definitive account of the Dalai Lama and Tibet since the Chinese conquest'. This one's longer, it's small print and over 400 pages. I'm hoping it'll take about a month. The underlying theme of "Dancing Naked in the Mind Field" was about questioning the scientific dogma that we're fed and being more skeptical about what we choose to believe. He detailed how there has been no evidence that HIV causes AIDS, that we don't need to take any vitamins, that Global Warming is a scam, and he also talked about how corrupt and ignorant the scientific community can be. Questioning the assumptions we make really pays off. Do we have any guarantee that that's actually Osama bin Laden on those tapes? What guarantees that jsut because a label says Made in Canada, that it wasn't made in an underground sweatshop in Vancouver? Does a label that says 'all natural' actually mean anything? Even after we think we've dug deep enough, there's still plenty of more layers to go. Okay, so you finally stopped using dairy products. Did you know that soy cheese is full of saturated fats? So you don't eat at McMurder anymore, but do you really think all those preservatives in packaged foods are any better for you? So you stopped drinking pop, too bad that your waters full of chlorine and fluoride. There should be not limits to your inquisitive nature. Never stop asking questions. That environmental group you joined could very well be pocketing the profits. Just cuz it's labelled left-wing, doesn't mean much. By the way, those 'light' cigarettes you switched to are lodging fiberglass into your lungs with every inhale. Don't trust anyone else's opinion or any book's so-called fact (and certainly don't listen to the news or read the newspapers if you're looking for the truth). Searching for the truth in each situation can seem trivial, it will be boring, and it will take time, but I think think it's worth it. Of course, as usual, the choice is yours to make....
