Now we know why warmie whackos hold the truth in such contempt!
June 16 2009
A true sceptic, following in the path of British biologist Thomas Huxley, is
a truth seeker.*
A true sceptic will place their search for the truth above all else.
As such a true sceptic will usually be an outsider, because the masses like
to agree and are rarely too concerned with the truth.
Indeed if we accept, as Mr Huxley explained, that the brains of apes and
humans are fundamentally similar it is not surprising that most Homo sapiens
value belonging and status above the truth.
Indeed explaining why someone in a position of authority is wrong, rarely
aids survival or improves status in a communal society (ape or human).
Of course, politics and values are important, even if they rarely have
anything to do with the pursuit of the truth.
