Explains how Islam takes over a country.
SCNARC?
I believe that’s pronounced, “Snark!”
This would never be applied to consensus science like say Global warming.
Most revolutions are carried through by a small portion of the population; The American Revoution had about 150,000 to 200,000 out of 4,500,000 million; The French Revolution about 250,000 revolutionaries out of a population estimated at 35,000,000; and in The Russian Revolution Lenin had about 250,000 supporters out of a total population of 100,000,000.
Sounds like “The Hundredth Monkey” phenomenon.
Ten percent. Where have we heard THAT number b4? Hmmm?
It’s how Obama got elected.
“When the number of committed opinion holders is below 10 percent, there is no visible progress in the spread of ideas. It would literally take the amount of time comparable to the age of the universe for this size group to reach the majority”
^^^^^^^^^^^
It doesn’t take that many. The greatest revolution of all time was started by one Person and 12 followers, and it’s still going.
Take a look at the frightening “progress” of homosexuality in the West. They number what? — 1.5%? — and already they are having courts grant them legal status to sue anyone who dares question them. They are a tiny fraction of the population yet they are winning most every battle because they are tireless, determined and cry loudly at everything they don’t like.
If Christians could be even half as vocal in defense of morality...
Excuse me. More than 10% of the population in this country have an shakeable belief that Democrats are the worse of the worse when it comes to politics and yet they get elected. Somebody needs to retool the model. Acting too much like some climate models that were made to fit an outcome.
Several situations appear to be left out of the calculation. Suppose for instance that two groups of 11% of the population hold diametrically opposite yet unshakable beliefs??
Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little. Edmund Burke
All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. Thomas Jefferson

Yet Another Example Of Biased Education Yielding Flawed Research.
Researchers always want to write papers that they can stick a Title on which will be attention-grabbing because the research is purported to support a conclusion that is at once startling and counter-intuitive and, most importantly, supports the social theories that are politically correct amongst the intelligentsia.
