Should We Trust God Or Al Gore?

Here is a link to a propaganda film trailer designed to launch Al Gore back into contention for the presidency. Personally, I think he could pull it off if he ran today. Just because the liberals would like to teach us conservatives a lesson.

This film is stunning. Disaster looms. Only Al Gore's leadership can save us. If the full film is as exciting as the trailer, you can bet it will have an impact. I can't help but wonder how many elephant sized talking heads got together to put this thing into production.

I think this is the future of world politics. Natural disasters grow in frequency and the left wing, along with the moderate and liberal republicans, begin to attack the religious right for causing the problems (by not joining them in their fear and rhetoric.) Thus, the religious right get marginalized and become the new scapegoat of the new order of the new millennium.

It's like risk aversion; in risk aversion people prefer not to take a risk if they can get the same result in a less risky way. With uncertainty aversion, people like the psychological comfort of a definite answer or theory (even if it's wrong) compared to not knowning. Some people would rather believe in global warming than conclude that the data support no define conclusions. But of course, psychological comfort is no gage for the truth.; 4:59 PM, April 18, 2006

Two: I agree that this will be the future of world politics. Exactly. Yet moreover, the point on *how*: it will be *increasingly* propaganda as you call it. Propaganda in the worst sense, degree of the word. And they will believe by what they see. As you have often mentioned, they live in a movie and expect us to live in their movie.

Three: "uncertainty aversion" -- I like that... good call.; 6:16 PM, April 18, 2006
