[MD] The End of Faith - Spirituality

[david buchanan]

Platt said to Steve:
As I read this I can't help but note that you have faith in intellectual quality (reason) even though reason cannot show by reason that it is reasonable. What am I missing?

dmb says:
Empiricism, that's what you're missing here. The value and validity of reason is not proven by reason. It is proven in experience. It works, as we know from experience. Faith-based beliefs are the opposite. Experience either contradicts them or has no bearing on them. Oh, why do I bother. Why does anybody bother? (Why does Arlo waste so much time?) It's obvious that Platt has no respect for reason or evidence. In ten years time I've not seen an inch of movement or growth. Day after day and year after year its just the same old tired cliches. The same old anti-intellectual, ditto-head plattitudes, ones that have nothing to do with the MOQ and everything to do with right-wing politics.

Yawn!
