I think that people believing that 1+1 can be different of 2 are just imagining something else.”* – do you mean: “imagining something else THAN WHAT YOU WERE *IMAGINING*?” sounds like a claim to some priviledge to imagining – only YOUR […]

Brent has posted a link to a nice video: http://videosift.com/video/Miss-USA-2011-Should-Math-Be-Taught-In-Schools See also a short discussion after that http://groups.google.com/group/everything-list/t/08a5c40ff1f9fee0 The video is a parady on the Miss USA 2011 Interviews – Should Evolution Be Taught in Schools.
