Stop the World

December 31st, 2007 by Bobbie Johnson

This intriguing mini-series featured short interviews with people “who hold views totally at odds with the prevailing orthodoxy”.

I’m not sure I agree that Dick Taverne - the Lib Dem peer and head of Sense About Science - counts as a scion of counterculture (after all, ‘orthodoxy’ depends where you’re coming from) but in his interview with Kamran Nazeer (here’s the MP3) you do get an idea of why adherence to scientific principles seems increasingly radical.

Presenter: Kamran Nazeer
Listen: [MP3] [Real]

    I thought the interview was a bit limp but I like Taverne’s thinking. I’d join an underground anti-organic movement. We could wear bunny suits and dig up organic crops. We could recruit allotment holders to plant GM… It would be a kind of rational revolt…
