I think we're already moving in that direction...
Lawyers have made their cases with worse material than puns:
"If it doesn't fit, you must acquit."
The Glass Bead Game continues to mutate into The Litigation Game.

--- --- --- --- ---

Useless hypotheses, etc.:
 consciousness, phlogiston, philosophy, vitalism, mind, free will, qualia,
analog computing, cultural relativism, GAC, Cyc, Eliza, cryonics, individual
uniqueness, ego, human values, scientific relinquishment, malevolent AI,
non-sensory experience, SETI

We move into a better future in proportion as science displaces superstition.
