		<description><![CDATA[Long ago when alarms where more of guidelines than rules and the rising cost of my health insurance never crossed my mind, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Bachelor of Arts in Religion. It made for interesting discussion groups and a deep appreciation for the strongly held beliefs that prompt both groups to see the other like Grover Dill from "A Christmas Story"... the stupid thug who attacks unprovoked and without cause. In the end Ralphie crushed Grover and destroyed him in a profanity laden fury, shattering his fragile persona and ending his hold over the neighborhood. I can understand the pull of doing that.

Recently, in David McRaney's fantastically insightful blog youarenotsosmart he wrote about the illusion of Asymmetric Insight and how, while most people think that they respect the point of view of others, in practice we almost unilaterally do the exact opposite. In nearly every situation from reading the news to talking to a friend or co-worker, you spend much more time considering information you disagree with than you do information you accept.

"Great", you say, "Insightful even." "What does this have to do with physics and a persons political leaning", you ask. Or maybe you've already stopped reading and moved on to TMZ, in which case the rest of this would be beyond you anyway (Zing!).

My point is, that because people generally spend less time thinking of their own views and more coming up with ways of proving those who disagree are wrong that liberal thinkers no longer believe in physics and conservatives are unsympathetic jerks.

A bit of a jump? Yeah, probably, but follow me here. Anyone who has taken high school physics has heard of Newton's Laws of motion. There are 3, and while all make for great conversations over foie grae at your next Mensa dinner party, the third is the one I am speaking of in this case.

More after the jump.....<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=yourextrabacon.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8139489&amp;post=226&amp;subd=yourextrabacon&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
