re: #293 Kosh’s Shadow

A long time ago, Analog Science Fiction ran a special Velikovsky issue. It had a very poor anti-Velikovsky article by Isaac Asimov, that largely attacked Velikovsky himself. However, the pro-Velikovsky article convinced me that he had his head up his ass in terms of science. It says something that the article taking one side of an issue convinces me that the side it supports is completely incorrect.

Hey, when I was a teen, books like his “Worlds in Collision” had me convinced. I had over 1000 books of that sort of junk science by the time I was in my 30’s.

All gone now.
