Arlo ... you said ""And I'd say that the "blind spot" in science (or any symbolic system) is an inherent feature that can never be overcome. As such, its not an obstacle to be condemned, but the basis for your "contingence".""
Yes, but it is the blindness to the blind spot that is the blind spot. That contingency goes unrecognized. We need to break that logical dead end. Science may "wish" it was a symbolic system, but it also increasingly wants to be part of the real world. That is my point - if that is the problem, that is what we should address, by level-shifting. Millions of people are making noises that faith-based religion is not good. I add my voice to that every day. But that's the easy bit. The hard bit is fixing the problem with the alternative - particularly if some people see it as a problem that can never be overcome. That's a REAL hurdle, worth my time addressing. Not condemning - but fixing, helping, addressing. I'm no quitter. Never is not in my vocabulary.
