Apocalypse Now – Pay Later
This hurricane tonight is going to be very bad. It is due to slam into Texas with Cat 4 force. The last time we heard warnings like this was in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit. The National Weather Service is warning that some areas may be uninhabitable for weeks or months afterwards. Here we go again.
Global warming anyone? I can’t figure out people cannot put two and two together and get four on this subject.
The problem with humans is that once their minds are utterly made up to believe something, no amount of evidence can ever shake their belief, even if it’s the Biggest Lie of Them All. People have personal and egotistical reasons for believing whatever they believe. The joke about the Science Fundamentalists is that most humans don’t think even remotely scientific most of the time.
The Logic Trap
Furthermore, logical-only thinking, which is what Science Fundamentalists allow only as they disparage all Intuitive Thinking as anti-scientific, is itself a huge trap. I see people trapped in the Logic Trap all the time, more and more of them as society does admittedly become more scientific. The problem is that pure scientific thinking and logical-only thinking will only ensure that you keep getting the wrong answers a lot of the time.
The only way to solve many questions of science is via thinking with your heart and not your head. This is because science is simply wrong about all sorts of things. There are many things that are true, but science is determined to say that they are false simply because science does not want to admit these things are true. This is why I call the Science Junkies Scientific Fundamentalists.
Mommy Science
Science doesn’t know everything any more than your Mom does, and it’s about as wrong as she is. Science Junkies are great big babies who have to run to Mommy Science to tell them what to believe because they can’t figure out obvious things on their own. They’re overgrown children. A purely scientific society is a society of over-educated 6 year olds.
Come to a real understanding of the quote blow and you’ve got half of life down hard, shoes in cement hard. By the way, the quote below is a profoundly unscientific statement, and in part that is why it is true. Figure out what that sentence I just wrote means, you are on your way to Liberation. Bon voyage!
The heart knows things that the mind will never understand.
