Paranormal Adept
Consciousness and the Paranormal — Part 10
I'll take outmoded scientific positivism and critical thinking over unstructured irrational personal criticism and confirmation bias any day. Maybe the only thing I'm fooling myself about is the capacity of some people to actually switch gears. But let's suppose just for a moment that there's something I'm missing. I've enjoyed the music and the poetry you've posted and have no problem experiencing life in the moment. So it's not like I don't get that. It's a beautiful thing, but it doesn't automatically invalidate critical thinking, which BTW isn't strictly a scientific method. Are you actually suggesting that critical thinking is "outmoded" as well? If so, how do you substantiate that?
