Gregoree, you are just so so stupid. The article you copy and paste has nothing to do with redeeming the ignorance of your remark regarding reality. Conflating "Reality dictates how we ought to live..." With “what is natural is good” is an infantile error. Similarly, conflating it with “what is good is natural” is sophomoric. I did not state or imply either of those things. GET A BRAIN! Intelligent people do not react to reality--they respond to it. They use science (organised and factual thinking) to determine what is real and how things work. They then make judgements about how one ought to live. For instance, don’t make forks out of sawdust. Don’t take a knife to a gun fight. Obviously, right and wrong, responsibility and irresponsibility--moral considerations--and all the oughts and the ought-nots...are subsumed and incorporated into my syllogism. Don’t be so bloody stupid. Once again: Science tells us the Nature of Reality in progressive stages of discovery. And Reality dictates how we ought to live...if our purpose is to live. Not too hard to understand for most people. But please feel free to jump out of a plane without a chute! Or pretend there was a flood that covered all the mountains and drowned everyone on earth-- etc. etc. etc. -g- This is your life. Live it in ignorance and superstition, if you choose. At least you have some value. You do, after all, greatly amuse people. LOL!
