i found this post very interesting, you ask when we have enough evidence to dictate people's actions and what makes one interpretation more valuable than another - these questions made me think about society today, and the pillars it stands on. we are surrounded by societies that are governed by laws that are based on concepts like religion and ethics and history. we create and negate ideas based on the knowledge we have today, and almost everything we do is based on an idea of the way it's always been, or the way people think it's always been.

what/who decides what is and is not legitimate? what are we calculating when we claim to calculate the 'general public opinion' -- as we've built society, we've built barriers and divisions between people, and well, where does that leave us?
