OMG, Reductionism, OMG!!!
Edited on Sun Feb-22-09 07:49 PM by Odin2005
A fool in the LBN thread on GMOs said this in response to one of my posts:

"People like you make me sick. Reductionist who actually think they know the complexities of life, but really have no clue whatsoever. Scientists will cure my pain with a pill, instead of seeing that they only alleviate the symptoms and not the cause, reaping vast fortunes in the process."

Reductionism, Scientism and Evil Materialism; oh my, the 3 sins of the Reality-Based Community!!! :eyes:

1. No! Not evidence! Keep it away, foul one!
Argh! Skeptics! They'll infect you with the ability to work out stuff for your own self! RUN!

Well the workshop is gone now, he decided to bomb it. Everywhere you'll find pieces of cupid and comet.
And he tied up his helpers, and he held the elves hostage, and he ground up poor Rudolph into reindeer sausage.

     ~From the Chronicles of the Night Santa Went Crazy, Chapter 1, verse 2.

It makes sense if you abandon your ideas of sense.

2. Let him get shingles.
I'm sure the anti-science troglodytes won't get the vaccine, so he'll be begging for that pain pill.

3. I thought it was ...
'worshippers at the altar of reductionist science'.
