J.Scott Armstrong and Chris Brown at NECSS

[sleepcity]

While it was nice to see someone a bit outside of the skepticism and science world at NECSS, Massimo Pigliucci pretty well embarrassed Armstrong on that futurism panel. Mark Barnhill, on the other hand, was a wonderful example of someone from outside the "scene" (I'm a bit reluctant to use the word movement) who had a lot of great things to say.
