He's a Philosophy and Religion professor at Syracuse, which is a highly regarded university. And he's feeding young minds with that scary convoluted argument against rational thought. YIKES!!

Thanks for your interpretation of that gobbledygook. It seems to fit.

It would seem suicidal to advocate anything BUT reason. To promote an attack on reason would gain enemies very quickly, unless, as in this case, opposition is countered by the use of guilt or ‘white guilt’.

They would consider me and most of us here very dangerous because we are not vulnerable, (or is the word gullible), enough to fall for that crap. In fact, for me it is looking existential.

Thank you. I THINK that is what he is getting at, but I can't be quite sure. For a professor he doesn't seem to be very good at communicating...

The point I would make in response is that even if he is correct (and I would argue he isn't) it doesn't neccesarily invalidate the products of reason. Two plus two IS four, it doesn't really whether a caucasion male or an hispanic female was the one who postulated it.
