In reply to Tony Naylor:
Thanks Tony... all the mean and stupid stuff I read on Off Belay is worth it for such gems. The information is nothing new to me but the Prof and his presentations (some of the most effective I have ever seen on the subject) are. One of the most depressing things alongside all the world improvements so many are unaware of in the 'developed world' is that obviously stupid bias has come to dominate public views on important issues and if anything it is worse in some of the most forward looking countries (like Sweden). The US scores pretty badly for a western economy on education and Europeans rather look down their nose on the world view of the US public, especially given the influence of the likes of Fox news, but hey, look who was much closer to the chimps.
