Thank you! I was starting to become concerned that I was the only one drawing back in horror at some of the outlandish claims recently promulgated on this list as being true (or even remotely coherent).
It is so easy to confuse our internal models of reality for that reality itself. We all fall victim to this tendency from time to time, because our perceptions of objective reality are always mediated through our subjective experiences of it. To maintain our sanity, we have to step back once in a while and ask ourselves how we can *test *our beliefs. If a belief cannot be tested, it lives only in our minds. If it can be tested, we should do so, and let the chips fall where they may. To hold onto a belief without seeking evidence, or worse, to hold onto it despite the evidence, is a sure way to disconnect from reality and lose ourselves in the wasteland of subjectivity. It pains me to see anyone lose touch like this.
