Andrea Kuszewski in Esquire's

Andrea Kuszewski in Esquire's "10 Ways to Have Better Sex, According to Science"

If you just looked at today's cool link, discussing why editors at Old Media don't seem to get the value of links (but their salespeople litter online magazines with paid ones) I give you this great example:

Esquire magazine interviews our own Andrea Kuszewski and it appears online (in one of those horrid slideshows that annoys everyone yet has survived for 15 years) but they don't put a link.

The great thing about being a bureaucrat in a dictatorship is you can take credit for everything that happens in your personal fiefdom and treat people like garbage and there is no recourse.   Well, almost no recourse.   Those guys working for Saddam Hussein didn't fare all that well when their boss started floating rumors he had weapons of mass destruction, but generally the life of a senior guy in a dictatorship is pretty good.

We like to make fun of pseudoscience, mostly because it is hypocritical.   It simultaneously says real science is insular and close-minded and BIG and therefore resistant to awesome new ideas, like there being ghosts in my attic(1), but wants science legitimacy so uses faux-science techniques and then maps the data to the topology they want to achieve, like 'this must be a ghost.'

It only takes a look at the Science 2.0 entry on Wikipedia to know their system is flawed (1) - anyone can create an entry but in order to edit it, like what Science 2.0 is, you have to document for some stranger on Wikipedia that you know what you are talking about, even if you're one of few people who knows what the topic is about.
