Politics is not the concern for me as it is for the majority of Zoners.
My focus is understanding the motivations, perceptions and ideas that make each one of us here the individuals we are.
The seductiveness of facts, theory, evidence and logic may mask some flaws in the system. It appears to me, that when ones' truth becomes more important than the SEARCH for truth, when the final results of inquiry become more important than the PROCESS of inquiry, where ones' perception of reason leads to so absolute a certainty about their beliefs that anyone who is not for them is considered against them....is extremism.
For me...reality does not neccesarily exist independent of human thought. Reason is not the only viable method of understanding reality.
