personal life often was difficult

The Spring Festival eve I participate in a draft special programs recordings, as an invited the judges on some "folk inventor" invention. Strictly speaking, to exhibit in the thing some hard to distinguish invention, even a product model all have no, just a set of paranoia. For example a junior high school cultural degree of laid-off workers will have only a few sketch, claiming that he have overthrown the existing physics, create a new set of physics, accordingly can create no wheels car, even elixir and will receive the Nobel Prize. This kind of maximising probably nobody will believe, but from some entertainment judge but admire person bold exploration, challenge authority spirit, gave his biggest red envelopes.

These people have been called "folk scientists", but I feel called "pseudoscience delusion home" more appropriate. Their common characteristic is cultural degree generally is not high, or although also have received higher education but lack related fields professional training, but think I made the most important scientific discovery, unable to get the scientific community recognition. Even the students can find its loopholes, but they considered by academic authority obstacles in contemporary Copernicus and Galileo pose, everywhere to sell yourself. They sell the harder actually far exceeded its "explore" the harder, possibly just takes a few days, several months to get a brainwave made "discovery", and then take a lifetime to sell, believe in yourself achievement would someday get recognized. Because obsessed with which to extricate themselves.

Entertainers who may be first contact to this kind of person, feel very fresh. I am from university undergraduate course since then they have continued to see this kind of person, calculate down without hundreds also have dozens of popes. Before is often in domestic famous university campuses, Chinese academy of sciences various institute the doorway, threshold low academic conference in the audience see these people figure, are always at the network BBS (especially those with science related BBS) see them outpouring of posts. I occasionally to receive these people to send the manuscript, complain because domestic academic corruption leads to their achievements buried and hope for them I justice. Once there who wish to cooperate with me and asked me to put his paper translated into English published, later if got Nobel Prize, bonus and I halved.

Psychological science think such believes it is great inventor, scientists who had "exaggerated paranoid-delusional", it is a kind of schizophrenia. This kind of person of course not China have, foreign also have is. But China such people in its number of other countries (see chart 3). Why China teems with pseudoscience delusion home? I had analyzed, think there are four sorts of reason: the first is the traditional factors. Ancient Chinese and no scientific tradition, only technology tradition.

The time has not come true

"I want to sing songs, even till today not sing. Every day I in stringing and in unstringing my instrument. The time has not come true, the words have not been rightly set; only there is the agony of wishing in my heart. The blossom has not opened; only the wind is sighing by. I have not seen his face, nor have I listened to his voice;

only I have heard his gentle footsteps from the road before my house. The livelong day has passed in spreading his seat on the floor; but the lamp has not been lit and I cannot ask him into my house. I live in the hope of meeting with him; but this meeting day has not yet come."

Xiangfan trip, I this back is second trip. Thanksgiving trip? Visionquests? Or, more straightforward, is my farewell trip. The first trip is miss read temporarily greatly, 2007, November 16 to 19 days; plan This time is 2010 May 21 and 24, but also on Friday night three days, but also K569 train of hefei to xiangfan 11 o 'clock train departure 55 points.

mark the mayor on the court

Because these "unknown property" brand and specification is differ, mark cannot provide favorable evidence is "lawful property", hence police with "theft" and "illegal possession of sin" will mark the mayor on the court.

Nov. 23, manly eritrea, municipal court for the "unknown property case" the trial. Mark the mayor in court argued: "this how can call" steal "? I never avoid picking up trash, the thief will be evasive! I just pick up people don't thing, and is found in broad daylight." Helpless, mark the mayor can find "witness" only his wife and his dog "backus", but the court refused to inter alia, his wife's testimony. Finally, the court to "theft" and "violation of garbage collection doctrine" two charges, fined us $250 and imprisonment for 15 days!

Fortunately, mark mayor no fluke suffered from "impeachment", because most citizens believe his thrift after all is a kind of good life style, so willing to give him a chance to continue as mayor.
