Well here I wish to offer a modern update of cargo cult science.

Today we suffer more from cargo cult enthusiasm -- the collective delusion that all we need is someone very passionate about something to lead us, and we will get there. Force of personality and personal passion must mean correct thinking.

Maybe just building coconut headphones would do less harm.



I'd only disagree that this is anything new. Yeats clearly recognised this over a century ago.
