It must mean something.

Kara, you know what I'm noticing, Kara?

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

You have become, I think, as integrated as you can because you reject so much of what... Yeah, I've reached my limit of nerddom with the show.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

But I mean that in a very positive way because you're doing things now I never thought you would do.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

You get most of our things now.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

Steve, with your hourly rate, you could have just bought a new one and not spent an hour that way.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

You know, it's hard to when you think of all the apps that we use and all the different interfaces and everything.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

I mean, it's not easy making good user interfaces, even though, you know, there's a lot of examples of really good interfaces.

The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Also, there was a book, I think it came out in the late 90s, maybe, you know, early aughts.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

It was called Don't Make Me Think.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

But that's part of it.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

You know, we have billion dollar industries like, you know, the healthcare industry whose websites are arguably some of the worst I've ever seen.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

That is just utter neglect.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Yeah, exactly.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

I mean, again, these are weak spots that can be programmed out.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

You know, the thing is, I was really thinking about this, Steve.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

They can program out a lot of those types of mistakes, and it still doesn't mean it's thinking.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Steve, I think there's an obvious question here and that's why would somebody like Dawkins who has his education and, you know, I mean, he's old to the point where like he's done so many things and debated with so many people and had to use critical thinking his entire career.
