Six degrees of idiocy
A new documentary started on the BBC tonight, entitled “Six degrees of separation“.
I got bored with it halfway.
Some so called scientists are now researching networks, which according to them has never been done before. They rehash some old data, like a Hollywood game where every actor ever is connected to Kevin Bacon in at the most 6 hops. Then another genius comes along who’s researched the internet and was shocked to discover that some sites are more linked to than others. Then this genius hooks up with the other geniuses to come to the brilliant discovery that some actors know more actors than others. According to the BBC narrator a scientific breakthrough.
Here’s where we turned off the television.
I vaguely remember documentaries being more than rehashed, dumbed down, pseudo scientific babbling. But unfortunately that seems to be the trend these days.
