MARCUS: The power of separating the intellect from the senses, and reason from instinct, is characteristic of the highest genius.
[Magni autem est ingenii sevocare mentem a sensibus et cogitationem ab consuetudine abducere.]Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
Tusculan Disputations [Tusculanae Disputationes], Book 1, ch. 16 (1.16) / sec. 38 (1.38) (45 BC) [ed. Harbottle (1897)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/cicero-marcus-tulliu…

Apologetics is more than just defending faith; it's about engaging with questions and doubts. It invites us to explore the depths of our beliefs and understand the reasons behind them.

"I propose that there are immutable laws describing the movements of the planets, the tides, and the weather. These things are not the consequences of capricious and moody gods."
Poor Belshazaar has gone off his rocker again. I only hope the gods show compassion and do not turn him into a newt for his blasphemy.
Thus, the age of scientific inquiry was born.

I've long been fascinated with the notions of LOGIC and REASON, especially where they fall woefully short. I realise that not everyone is a philosopher or a trained critical thinker.

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
Will we ever learn to use reason instead of force in the world, and will people ever be wise enough to refuse to follow bad leaders or to take away the freedom of other people?
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1939-10-16), “My Day”More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-eleanor/60…

When a sieve is shaken, the refuse appears;
so does a person’s waste when he speaks.
The kiln tests the potter’s vessels,
and the test of a person is in his conversation.
Its fruit discloses the cultivation of a tree;
so does speech the thoughts of the human mind.
Do not praise anyone before he speaks,
for this is the way people are tested.
[Ἐν σείσματι κοσκίνου διαμένει κοπρία,
οὕτως σκύβαλα ἀνθρώπου ἐν λογισμῷ αὐτοῦ.
σκεύη κεραμέως δοκιμάζει κάμινος,
καὶ πειρασμὸς ἀνθρώπου ἐν διαλογισμῷ αὐτοῦ.
γεώργιον ξύλου ἐκφαίνει ὁ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ,
οὕτως λόγος ἐνθυμήματος καρδίας ἀνθρώπου.
πρὸ λογισμοῦ μὴ ἐπαινέσῃς ἄνδρα·
οὗτος γὰρ πειρασμὸς ἀνθρώπων]The Bible (The Old Testament) (14th - 2nd C BC) Judeo-Christian sacred scripture [Tanakh, Hebrew Bible], incl. the Apocrypha (Deuterocanonicals)
Book 22b. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 27: 4ff (Sir 27:4–7) [tr. NRSV (2021 ed.)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/bible-ot/85167/

@GeraldKutney Unfortunately not. See Paul Krugman's latest blog post: https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-fire-this-time. We are talking about people who hate #science, hate #scientists, hate #scholarship, hate #universities, hate #thought, #knowledge, #reason & #facts. These are people who don't believe there is such a thing as #objective #truth - "truth" is what they say it is, what suits their convenience. You can't defeat obscurantism with arguments based on #scientific facts.

Pssst! Hey extremists. Yeah, you.
Whether you're red-hat-wearing MAGA traitor or a hamas loving Woke revolutionary, a message for you.
Your vitriol directed toward Lindsey Graham says everything about you and nothing about the deceased.

If you wanna be a secular-philosopher relying on reason, do that.
If you wanna rely on revelation, do that.
If you wanna make it more complicated, do that.
Just don’t expect me to reconcile those things on your behalf 🤷🏻♂️
