What the Kennedy case is really all about
The epistemology was too easy.
Not as hard as I had expected.
Not the major accomplishment I thought it would be.
Too obvious, once I started it.
Clearly the safest and surest path to the central truth of the
assassination.
What the Kennedy case is not all about.
Logic and reason.
Who can assemble the most facts.
Who can probe the deepest into the newly released records.
Who can hold the most conferences.
Who can interview the most eyewitnesses.
Who can publish the most articles.
Who can mobilize the most citizen researchers.
The Kennedy case is really all about something else altogether, something that lives on in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
A strange, amorphous blend of:
Predisposition (prejudice)
Closed minds
Inability to think and reason objectively
Unwillingness to think and reason objectively
Unwillingness to let go and accept the obvious absence of evidence for
conspiracy
It is about the combination of
Extreme prejudgment about the answer,
and
Extreme inability or unwillingness to think straight.
Not a nice combination!
IOW, it is about:
Who we are
How we think (or dont)
How our emotions can override our reason
