Morton's Demon for the curiousEtaroced 16:17, 3 April 2007 (EDT)

  • Morton's demon was a demon who sat at the gate of my sensory input apparatus and if and when he saw supportive evidence coming in, he opened the gate. But if he saw contradictory data coming in, he closed the gate. In this way, the demon allowed me to believe that I was right and to avoid any nasty contradictory data. Fortunately, I eventually realized that the demon was there and began to open the gate when he wasn't looking.

Cute. Kinda like the Mirror of Erised, eh? We see what we want to see, and disregard the rest (with apologies to Paul Simon).

Conservatives in recent years have been taking liberals to task for (in effect) harboring Morton's demon. --Ed Poor 13:25, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

I concur that this should be merged with the other article suggested. Both are tiny articles, and appear to discuss the same or a similar topic. The cleaner Conservapedia can be, the better it will be. Quidam65 (talk) 11:27, 9 February 2018 (EST)
