Ai Weiwei lived in China most of his life, and was openly critical of the government there. He has been imprisoned before. In his family history, one of his parents was internally exiled. This is a brave person who knows a few things from personal experience and deserves some respect and consideration, even if you disagree.
What are you talking about. Everyone knows polls are the best way to determine what is or is not a myth. That’s why that TV show Mythbusters failed so miserably and is off the air now. Too much fiddly experimentation and sciency mumbojumbo, and not nearly enough polls. It really helps if the polls ask pointed questions about hot button issues with little to no context also… So people aren’t confused or have to think too much (which also is a form of dishonesty when you think (but not too much) about it). Pretty sure there is a poll out there somewhere that confirms this.
