Hi Elliot!
Thanks for the illuminating reply to the self-actualization-through-work
thread. Before I compose a reply, I thought I would jump in here.
Elliot to DMB:
I understand your very anti-athoritarian, but your view of intellect is
surprisingly elitist. How can you be very anti-athoritarian if Galileo was
right and christainty wrong? If galileo needed some help from an athority,
would you give it to him. Also, i think a true understanding of
un-athoritarianism is to accept there are no athorities who know what is
right and no sheep who believe what is wrong. Thus, galileo as an athority
from whom we derive our understanding of the world (dont question him, he
has REAON on his side, where as other points of view dont) is no better than
a christain pope.
Rog:
Isn't the best way to look at the issue a matter of finding which view --
reason or church authority -- is best? I know this sounds tautologous, but
the point is to evaluate whether following reason/science or religious
scripture leads to the best results. Of course, it could be that each is
better in certain realms of endeaver.
