ASYMMETRY

I came across a concept that might help explain the present state of American culture. And much of life in general. 

I heard it explained on Chris Williamson's Modern Wisdom Podcast #675.

Since this is a family-friendly blog, we shall call it The Bullsnot Asymmetry Principle.

Simply stated, the principle goes like this: 

It takes far less energy to produce bullsnot than to refute it. 

Therefore, the world is filled with unrefuted bullsnot.

When I was younger, I often wondered, if the Truth is the Truth, why does it always seem to be the minority position? 

The BS Asymmetry Principle says there will always be much more BS in this world than Truth. 

(At least until the trumpet sounds and a certain Someone comes down on the clouds.) 

[P.S. Melissa and I will head to the airport in about 30 minutes to pick up Samuel - returning from a trip to Mexico - and Caleb - on a short leave from Fort Moore, Georgia. Though unplanned, they will land within 30 minutes of each other. What are the chances? Hannah is already home, so the whole family will be together for about 3 days, starting Thanksgiving Day and we are thrilled.]
