Enemies of Reason Ep.2 (2 of 5)

Part Two - The Irrational Health Service

Prof Richard Dawkins looks at how health has become a battleground between reason and superstition. A third of us now spend a total of over 1.6 billion a year on superstitious alternative remedies, but 80% of them have never been subjected to properly conducted trials.

@x3llence So you're saying believing in such things is genetic? Don't you think it's more about indoctrination as a child? I think people are suffering without there being a reason for it (I mean, in this case it can be easily avoided, in other cases suffering it can't be avoided) and that should stop. Pointing such things out is the right thing to do.

Dawkins, homiopathy has a very serius role. Homiopathy eradicates the genes of stupidity cause only stupids would turn to it, and thus is more likely they die. So please let homiopathy and all other pseudosciences and alt medicine do their job, they are doing a favor.
