Humans are shifting away from familial aristocracies, and currently follow the lead of economic aristocrats. Perhaps in the future we could build an aristocracy based on professional behavior. If we could agree on common standards for behavior, and gave a distinct status to people who uphold those standards, maybe that would be a little bit better.

Episode 1: Belief Belief is one half of our information. The other half is knowledge. Belief is what we each accept without proof. Knowledge is what we can prove to each other with independent facts. Because no one knows everything, we depend on our belief systems to fill in the gaps of information. Science is the best belief system for better information because it requires the simplest belief - that the universe exists with constant properties, and the scientific method is the best way to discover them. Join the Church of Science! The services are lots of fun.
