Quite true. I like the room it leaves me though. I get that
   moment of, "aww dang it!" then a sense of victory, where I can
   say, Ah ha! you DIDN'T catch me did you!?

   I mean, a lot of people who are spouting BS don't KNOW they are;
   they may believe what they're saying 100%. Being BS doesn't
   require awareness of it. And again... there's usually something
   true within something that has BS; that's what makes them so
   effective, and components of BS doesn't invalidate something.

   One that almost got me was Holographic brain. Another was
   Ecology - I WANTED to believe the guy who started the Ecology
   stuff in the 20s 100%... and was close to. But then... bits of
   the BS started popping up and I could see the flaws. I was kinda
   sad. I wanted to be a true believer.

   Closest I've come so far is Lakoff and embodied cognition. I
   know the BS parts yet I can reject them safely without it
   compromising the parts I like about the whole embodied mind
   concept and the importance of metpahors and such.

   Maybe one day I'll look back and shake my head again and go,
   "dang it - they GOT ME again, didn't they?" but for now, I'm
   enjoying the ride.
