If I may, it seems the Evos start out with some sacred cow biases. One is that spiritually inclined folks are all anti-science, fearful of new things, and adamantly anti- intellectual. They tend to think we didn't get out of the 8th grade, all live in Bill Clinton's Arkansas, and believe whatever our parents told us to believe.

LOLOL!!! Many Evos are all "attitude," with little or no actual thought going on. They seem to be allergic to evidence contrary to their preconceived notions.

Back in the 1970s, Pope Paul VI observed (paraphrasing) that the biggest problem with modernity is that Man had stopped thinking.

That certainly seems true enough: For evidently we act as if the "authorities" should do all our thinking for us. (The "authorities" especially recommend this.) Thus we are to be relieved of one of the most critical responsibilities of the human being....

So to let "authorities" like the folks hanging out at the "climate change" unit of East Anglia University look after our interests....

I'd just like to remind Natural Law: Both Einstein and Bohr insisted that science is a public enterprise.

yes, we want you to cease that thinking in areas where you have no background. After all, who knows where it will lead.
The group will do the thinking, thank you very much. We don’t want individual effort in the new Amerika. Plus the “we” will decide what is considered “education”. There will be consequences, how do you feel about “re-location to the countryside”?

"I'd just like to remind Natural Law: Both Einstein and Bohr insisted that science is a public enterprise."

Yet neither ever spoke against the concept of patents and copyright which assures private ownership of intellectual property.
