Yes, I've started doing alt-right, SJW-ready, philosophical couples counseling/self-esteem coaching for patreon donations in tulip bulbs, er, I mean bitcoins like our fellow sage Stefan Molyneux.Diebert van Rhijn wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2017 9:14 amThe big head office has no intention of shutting down while a tiny regional Hindu office still could make a mega profit this year!
People use reason within science because they need to, so they perceive that reasoning as immanent to science. Since avoiding other kinds of reasoning usually doesn't result in tangible/short-term consequences, they consider those to be inferior and often even alien to the reasoning done within endeavours (offering modern conveniences, or failing that individual status and livelihood) categorised as "science".In the end it's not the science which is as much faulty but the methods of selection, the bias, which can never be solved by science itself. Higher reason is the only power able to steer that process, to "burn back the weeds"'
In India we mimic, emulate and simulate Western culture. It's because we are afraid to think about ourselves, and thus, afraid to think. Those parts of ourselves we cannot explain by imitating/simulating western concepts and perspectives, we ignore. Those parts which scare or disgust or embarrass us, we try to excise and replace with what we think are the western alternatives and analogues - when that fails, we bicker with each other until a new western alternative/analogue to something distracts us. Spiritually, we are children trapped in a limbo between our murky past and the West's enunciated present. I think the West is reaching, or has already reached, a similar place, i.e., between the murky interpretation of modernism and the enunciation of its consequences within the context of modernist ideologies.Some big disappointments are unraveling as we speak as for some reason the modern human had started to believe in pure intentions of the masses or at least the groups elected to govern, amuse or research. Or men. The world is turning uglier but not because it was nicer before! It's only the unraveling of one belief and the increasing despair to find a new one.
