It is like being the sole guardian of your values and beliefs.
Your response seems to indicate that I'm advancing strange notions, I must be on drugs.
That's not the first today.
The reason seems to be because I'm disregarding common beliefs about science and reality.
Worse yet, the people who hold those beliefs, also believe they are not beliefs, but simply self-evident facts.
I think there's a new type of secular fundamentalism occurring in our culture.
The Enlightenment innovated the notion of individual power, but now we seem to be in lock step with scientific authority.
