Scientific rigor is not censorship. Paranoia is not freedom.
Donβt believe in mind and deep equality.
The weakness of reality is weakness of thought is history of thought. Is end of reading.
Science was going to be a problem for religion unless you define away religion. Itβs not cherry-picking to ask about scopes and Galileo. And There are modern thinkers very concerned with metaphysics (Derrida). This all seems replay of Calvin is very liberal tho we wonβt talk about his most famous opinion.
If you define religion as subjectivity you donβt have to answer questions science poses to the story. You could have some kind of deism.
Robinson in Absence of mind seems to be arguing modern atheism is based on flawed analogy with science and ignores mind, which is stand in for religion (self = soul). Itβs anti humanistic and anthropocentric. Duh. Strawmen like rorty and pinker, to be fair she quotes Russell a lot. I donβt know what mind is, some unmediated thought, access to thought itself, whatever that is.
Against molecular biology (remember stem cells?) and economics. And history.
You can have a coherent political ideology that is against the status quo root and branch. But against reality? Substitute science for reality?
