    Umm, I get a bit of what this means, but could a more well read member give me the skinny?

    Epistemology is the field of studying human knowledge, so epistemological relativism means that you think, like Moses, that truth and knowledge are relative. Mo gets him by applying epistemological relativism to epistemological relativism 🙂

    the great postmodernist fallacy… everything can’t be relative because relativism would also be relative (unless relativism is the ultimate truth and not self-applicable, in which case relativism becomes an instrument for political apathy… and control)…

    Ah.. do we see that Mo is becoming “Po-Mo”?

    Yeah, I printed it out and put it on my wall. Religious thinking may be bad, but it’s a blessing compared to extreme Po-mo litcrit, esoteric woowoo and magical thinking in general. When I hear some of my fellow atheists wishing for religion to vanish from the face of earth, I often think “be careful what you wish for”. Organized religion at least puts the irrational tendencies intrinsic to every human being into a controlled environment.

    “Organized religion at least puts the irrational…..”

    ….in other words, insane asylums are what makes insanity real?

    In the same way teaching religion should be socialiced into public schools so that we don’t get fanatics teaching religion to little kids.

    Not in UKxit, not since “care in the community”. Today, that’s what Parliaments are for.

    It does seem to be working.

    It’s probably too late to ask, Archophob, but which one?

    On topic, sort of, I had a similar sense of “this is ridiculous” about Behavioural Psychology. If BP were true then the BP people would not be able to create BP because creating BP could not possibly be an evolved behaviour.

    Fortunately, BP seems to have withered away quietly like phlogiston and phrenology.

    Solo Hands,
    Mo’s reply to Moses’ mail, obviously.
