Have received the following comment to my editorial "The Fall of Reason"
Comments welcomed.
In the same spirit, one of our readers received a comment from one of his friends that stated, among other things, thatSubject: Pseudoscience
An article entitled "The Fall of Reason in The West" is littered with lack of
reason. I was just curious, was this article an example of the title? Please,
get a grip on reality, evolutoin does not say we evolved from primates.
Evolution says that we share common ancestory with all life on earth, and chimps
just happen to be our closest living ancestors. DOH, you fail. Please, stop with
the pseudo science and total lack of reason, and for the love of reason, stop
pretending you are rational.
So I started to think that, perhaps, I should write a follow up article about the scientific method, Ockham's razor, the "soul" hypothesis and the "bigger picture" ?[...] I'm not saying that the stuff about 911 isn't true. But all this talk about past lives and entities attached to people that make their knees hurt.
"To me it just seems selfish and delusional to think they our minds are so important that they live on after our bodies. I'd even go so far as to accept that this reality is an illusion but our brains are part of our reality so they must be an illusion as well. I just don't see how
it's possible to think without a brain. Is this what you're talking about when you say the bigger picture?"
