Reasonable Dowd: Ed Dowd's statistical analysis of the cause of the current rate of excess deaths

This is one of the most fascinating conversations I've posted on my blog, perhaps the most fascinating. It may (or may not) be difficult to integrate into one's personal worldview, which difficulty was essentially the underlying theme of the 1999 film The Matrix, where the red pill and blue pill represent a choice between reality and ignorance: Taking the red pill allows the character to see past the illusion of the Matrix and understand the truth. The red pill represents a path of critical thinking, science, and philosophy.
