Is any one of us able to use our intelligence for the broader good when selfish motives intervene?

Abstract

Though women have been starved of creative opportunities over the centuries of patriarchal bullying, they have proved in one important field that they are not creatively inferior to men—in writing. Adelphiasophists are keen that all people should be creative and that their efforts should be appreciated. If you have been intending to start that novel or screenplay but felt short of ideas, here is the Wise Women's synopsis of plot to give you a few ideas. May the Goddess inspire you. Saviour Shirlie.

Before you go, think about this…

Lee Moller gives these criteria for distinguishing a pseudoscience from a proper science:

Is it showing progress?
Do proponents use jargon such as “vibration” or “energy” without defining it?
Does it depend on established physical laws being abandoned?
Do accounts of it lack references?
Is the evidence anecdotal?
Do proponents claim irreproachable but unconfirmable experiments prove it?
Have other researchers independently repeated the experiments and verified them?
Do proponents claim to be overly or unfairly criticized?
Is it taught only in non-credit institutions?
Are the best texts on it old?
Do proponents use statements that are a largely or wholly true but unrelated to the claim?
Do proponents, when criticized, attack the critic rather than the criticism?
Do proponents appeal to history—accounts of it go back centuries, there must be something in it?
Does it only happen sometimes, and hardly ever when it is scrutinized?
Do proponents appeal to ignorance—no one can prove otherwise, can they?
Do proponents vaunt credentials that are irrelevant to the claim?
