==Transcript== {{Computertranscript}} :[Describe panel here] :Philosophers carp about whether there's a well-defined difference between hard and soft science. But it's easy to pinpoint! :Just put the word "mad" in front of a practitioner of the discipline and see how scared you are. :Oh.2 :"mad chemist." yikes! Definitely hard. "mad geneticist"? Probably making killer frog-men or something. Way scary. Hard science. :Mad conservation biologist? Okay, maybe they're bringing back the t-rex for ecological reasons or something. :A mad anthropologist might be, I dunno, sabotaging venerated cultural beliefs? :Then, you can easily separate out pseudoscience because the mad versions are funny. Mad astrology? What's their crazy plan? Making astrology actually work? :What's mad homeopathy? Trying to drown people? :I can't tell if this is true or just stupid. :That's because I'm a mad epistemologist/
