Western philosophy is more successful than eastern. Try reading Joseph Needham and see what went wrong in China.
Science is objective, people really *do know* *facts*. I feel no regret for what I have said because it is *fact*. I feel the need to take on what I perceive as destroying society and most of all what I love, science. Now, when you're old and grey and it's all crumbling around you just what did you do? How did you help? Blah, blah, blah and psychobabble to the stuff below. -----Original Message----- From: OrionWorks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 September 2008 19:11 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vo]:Hidden Societal Megatrend? Another unfortunate side effect of collecting a lot of opinions is the inevitable tendency of ending up having to defend all those collected opinions. It's as if all those complex and sophisticated opinions have been set in place as armor to obfuscate a vague and uneasy awareness that deep down inside one's Inner-Most Psyche one fears the possibility that one doesn't have a clue as to how the universe really works, and facing that possibility is just too terrifying to even acknowledge.
