Ironwood, the problems have been highlighted. One problem, however, is still in the nature of the problem finder.
If you step away from recent discussion you find that what is really happening is still intellectual snobishness. Whilst watching some Dawkins videos I started to think a little more about how things work. Though he may be right that science is the only way and religion is inferiror, etc., the problem seems to me that the perceived nature of how this information is conveyed receives violent opposition sometimes. Could it be that this is because the real reason Dawkins does this is not because of his pro-evolution but his anti-religiousness? This may or may not be the case, but the reaction would be to infer this. Do not underestimate the media. The way to win is to have a method graeter than the person playing against you. Think about this; especially the case in WWII.
You say that the wise question themselves all the time. But this is still stuck upon the problem. A fool believes he is right; period. Now, it seems the foolish are gaining the upper hand. Now, what solution logically leads from this?
The focus is still too much on the problem. For example, who really cares who shot JFK, who cares how Diana died. Too much energy is put into this because, at its roots, people are so intrigued by mystery and what could be rather than face what is day-to-day. The first reaction of this may be to say that conspiracy theories are all put into the same bag when they are not. But if we look deeper, what causes this to be so.
See today we live in a world set from the theories of ultimately Freud. Politicians use the knowledge of the mind to control its behaviour. What we are dealing with is slow and progressive control. This is the problem; it is in the mindest. To liberate a mind requires a shift from the thinking of what it should be like or why it should be like this to HOW.
Solution 1:
In this mindset people who stand up and shout and are angry are seen as mad. So screaming and shouting and stamping feet does not work. What's needed is one of two things. One to make it look like what you arte doing is right, certain, without question. This is hippocritical to the desired end outcomes but the method has worked. You say that the wise question themselves all the time. But this is still stuck upon the problem. A fool believes he is right; period. Now, it seems the foolish are gaining the upper hand. Now, what solution logically leads from this?
At this point ask yourself the same problems we face today; do you not think they were thought of by the same opinions of some men who sat around and then went; we could invent a religion. Or perhaps one day a man thought; I need to set myself up as the all knwoing so that I can help liberate people from political evil.
It could be, I may be wrong, but that a new developing religion is that of science. However, though it may talk of critical reasoning, what it is really preaching, be its intent or not, is cynicism.
Off the point, but important: in the same way scientists hate fundamentalists, in the same way Muslims hate Christians, in the same way Americans hate terrorists/freedom fighters ; the problem is not advocation of Christianity or advocation of Americanism or advocation of Islam or advocation of freedom fighting; but the hatred of the perceived opposite. Its a delsuional state of relativity.
Solution 2:
The second is a new way for us to think about and make it happen. This is the void.
