My posts are bound to be about......

Yes but you don't use all those subjects as a response to people applying critical thinking to your 'arguments'. I did miss 'zoom in, zoom out' though, I stand corrected.

Thanks Robbie. I am quite used to  the people here and their standard, almost automated, responses.  :D

But I like most of them in spite of their rather silly and myopic perceptions of life. Most of them seem to suffer from the Two Boxes syndrome of categorizing ideas either as Science or as 'Woo'....with no grey in between.  In my view reality is actually a wide spectrum ranging from the precise & measurable to the very subtle & incomprehensible.

That is why I keep trying to post my views here hoping that at least a few people would venture into the grey areas for a change.  But it often seems to be futile.  :D

Thanks Sriram,  I am quite used to  the people here and their standard, almost automated, responses.

But I in spite of their rather silly and myopic perceptions of life, think it's sad that most of those individuals, seem to suffer from the Two Boxes syndrome of categorizing ideas either as Science or anything else void of anything substantial that might support 'Woo'....with no grey in between. In my view reality is actually a wide spectrum ranging from the precise & measurable to the very subtle & incomprehensible stuff that'll remain on the back burner, well until such times as?

Kind regards ippy

P S I should have read Stranger's post 22 before I posted this one, looks like he has folded you up put you into a brown paper parcel and taken the time to put an elegant ribbon around it, with a precisely folded really neat bow atop, let's hope he has to pay something for that act the next time around, you know? Begins with an 'R'?

Why do you have to demean the people here that disagree with you?

Actually, I know why it is, it's because you cannot argue your case in a rational manner because you don't have a case. Some people (you) are so incapable of appreciating the beauty of the garden that they have to invent fairies that live at the bottom of it, to paraphrase a great man.

Yes J P, you've got a point but I think you'll have to wait for the next edition, there seems to be some kind of link to this science magazine he likes to read.
