What Happens When a Decision Needs to be Made

18th Century Scottish philosopher David Hume spoke to us on how our minds interact with the world around us to form our base of knowledge, saying, “We always disbelieve the greater miracle.”  In other words, when two of our perceptions appear to contradict one another, we automatically accept whichever seems to be more likely.

In the case at left, there is no doubt that someone is lying, or, at least, is 100% incorrect in what they are asserting to be true.  In this case, it’s either the driver of an SUV bearing various flags and a Trump sticker, or the world bioscientific community.

Hmmm.  That’s a toughie.
