wit

On this site, there's a collection of essays, roughly describable as philosophical in nature. Most were my responses to blithering dolts on a myspace group. From the winter of 2008 to the autumn of 2010, I encountered these people - infrequently. Those in the group rejected minimal human rationality. Evolutionary biology was denounced as "sociopathic" and "metaphorical". The constants, equations and laws of Physics were deemed "not mind-independent". Logic as found in text-books was declared "bad logic". Thermostats were said to have "representational states", i.e. the capacity of complex thought. Imaginary things were sworn to "exist". After redefining scientific terms, the phenomena associated with them were pronounced to not occur. My impression is that they packed-up to form a cult - hell-bent on destroying reason.
