People fool themselves, and when they do that, they are operating in the most dangerous of arena's. It is some part of our brain/mind that somehow "rewards us" for maintaining a wrong belief. I don't have the answer to that one yet, but it is important. More immediately important is recognizing when you are about to do that to yourself. "Knowing for fact, what ain't so" is indeed a very dangerous trait. I think Will Rogers and Ken Fisher chimed in similar to that.
Example---the big lie being told how, and without clarification by the media (shame on them) is that in 8 days, radioactive iodine becomes safe. BIG LIE. 8 days is the half life of Radioactive Iodine. That means half goes away in 8 day, then in 16 days, it is 1/4, 24=1/8, 32 = 1/16
40=1/32, 48=1/64, 56=1/128
So if the rate is now 1250 time the safety limit then in 56 days (1/128) it will be still over 10 times over the safety limit!!!!! that is if no new radiation is added. Obviously there is a reactor core leak, they are at least weeks away solving the leak. Where are the Robots!?
This from a news article: The BIG LIE
Levels of radioactive iodine in the sea near the tsunami-stricken Fukushima nuclear plant are 1,250 times higher than the safety limit, officials say.The readings were taken about 300m (984ft) offshore. It is feared the radiation could be seeping into groundwater from one of the reactors.
But the radiation will no longer be a risk after eight days, officials say.
Here is my real point---there will be a certain number of people who read the above, and because they are already thinking that the radiation risk is overblown, their "theory" will be confirmed and they will taunt, belittle, and laugh at those with the tin-foil hat. By the way, tin-foil by itself will not protect you from radiation :-)
Please chime in with your own comments and thoughts.
