npub1p4rpzym686zwxh7rv76cupvxe50kw7agvkusu8lnrkfveqrmfmxqgy6aux (npub1p4r…6aux) I’m suspicious of Caplan’s numbers (and, more generally, people who cite Caplan*). The numbers from the annual NSF survey show ~75% of Americans say the earth goes around the sun. (Which is wrong, since they both revolve around their center of gravity. Which, granted, is pretty deep inside the sun.) The numbers have been stable for decades.
