When people have painted their dogma into a corner, they use cheap excuses. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck... it AIN'T a duck!! Naah... it's Your Conception(TM) of a duck, which isn't anything close to an ordinary duck. Silly me, I thought it was a duck! And of course you don't have the time to explain the difference to us lowlifes, because we're way too linear thinkers anyway. You could at least name one (just 1) example of a society where spirituality "caused" freedom. I guess the Dalai Lama's Tibet won't qualify. > I would like to comment about the prevalence of linear thinking however: > > The fact that so many people in our society are bound by linear thinking and > unable to even conceive of any alternatives to that is one of the greatest > problems we face in our attempts to come up with alternative societies. > > Again, much too much to deal with on this list, I'm afraid. With this attitude you can indeed forget your chances of changing society for the better. But then that's not only the linear-thinkers' fault... Hint: If you can't speak French, you can't teach English in France.
