DESCRIPTION:We have seen a progressive erosion of the enlightenment values 
 which form the very basis of science. The fashion for delusional thinking i
 s already widespread among the general public and politicians. It has penet
 rated even into universities as power inexorably moves from academics to ma
 nagers. Francis Wheen has suggested that this step backward towards the dar
 k ages started to become fashionable in about 1979. The more interesting qu
 estion is\, when will it end? My home page is about my day job\; the subjec
 t of this lecture is dealt with on my two blogs\, "DC's IMPROBABLE SCIENCE"
 :http://dcscience.net/ and "DC's goodscience":http://www.dcscience.net/good
