Michael Enquist replied to jay H's discussion Philosopher: Logic is racist
"Ah, my edit didn't take.
I posted the above before I had read all the other replies.
I think I can understand why some folks consider science and reason to be the tool of the oppressor, because oppressors have used them to further their…"
Michael Enquist replied to jay H's discussion Philosopher: Logic is racist
"When I attended The Evergreen State College in the lat 1990's, there was a class called, "The Tyranny of Reason," which had the same premise that rational thinking was a form of white male intellectual imperialism. I guess some people…"

"Yes. Happiness is one of those areas where it's much more effective to lead from the front. "
Michael Enquist commented on Jennifer Hancock's blog post Atheism isn't enough - and it isn't very satisfying
"This is a good start.
It seems strange to me that a group of people who claim to hold critical thinking in high regard need to be reminded that atheism is not a world view. It is just a small part of many different world views, as Jennifer has…"

"Unless it's big bang cosmological "science" where people, with no concern for evidence, fill gaps with hypotheses."

"I'm sorry, Jonathan. I have no "faith." None whatsoever. I'm not sure why you are thinking god might come down and strike someone with a lightning bolt? I do not believe in god. I also have no "faith" that I'm…"

"Long ago, when I was trying to figure out how I got caught in an abusive marriage and why was it impossible for my mother, both grandmothers and very many women in my family to escape? Of 27 women I could identify who were alive and I knew…"
Jonathan Chang replied to Michael Enquist's discussion The myth of the incompatibility of science and religion
"Science is not a demonstrable fact. Science is a system of facts. If the only way one can reject the compatibility of science and religion is denial and hysterics, then I should find no reason to reject compatibility at all. There is no difference…"
