I think yes it is. Science is this age's orthodoxy, if its eventual rejection is as severe as religion's it may not bode well for humanity. The problem is that too many people conflate superstition and ignorance with religion or tradition, while at the same time behaving with the fatal conceit of the present for the past. It makes me heart sick to witness it and see it repeated over and over as bold insight when it's anything but. Sometimes it feels like ground hog day.
Although mind you years ago I might have said the same thing, not just as you here but as Metaphor. Perhaps I have as much myopia and defensiveness for my present perspectives as I did once acknowledgely have for the other but there doesnt appear to be anyone else voicing doubts or defending it.
Science's eventual rejection?? Hey, when science stops coming up with life saving medicine, yearly improvements affecting nearly all facets of your life, from when you get up and have your coffee (or tea, I guess it is) from when you go to bed, you've enjoyed the fruits of science making your life easier, safer, comfier, and if you ever get hurt and end up in the hospital, it will be science that you'll be turning to to potentially save you. You may not give credit where credit is due, but you take advantage of science every day.
As long as there are humans and and we don't regress to the Dark Ages.... logic, reason, and the formal process of it, the scientific method, will always be popular.
I know you have a rational mind sometimes, you honestly think science will be rejected over time? It gives us results, and has real-world value and utility.... if anything, we rely more on science each and every year.
So like science, do you think the internet (thanks science, for that) will have it's 15 minutes of fame too?
I dont know were you're going with this "mean side" business, it looks like just another way of behaving dismissive.
I'm just saying you used to be a lot cooler on the forum. You're completely a Negative Nancy now, and others apparently agree, seeing from my reps.
I think it came from others being mean to you first, like what's his name.... BananaTrombones and some others.... I stuck up for u a few times against them, on the board and the modbox. So don't think I have a bias against you. But they are probably what turned you outwardly ugly on the forum. Or you;re going thru personal stuff.
Why place the blame with me?
Blame the victim much.
You're just playing the victim. And the nastiest stuff in this thread that I've seen has come from your posts.... "Of course your alternative of unmitigated depression, aggression and addiction is so much more appealing." Sarcasm doesn't fit you.
U don't see how you've changed? Even when you were the old Lark, I saw people trying to pick on you, but these days I'm less apt to feel much sympathy.
