Personal viewpoint. It's very holism can prevent reductionist twaddle of the Shaker variety.
Ahhh, holism - there goes the bullshit alarm.
Come on Shaker.....Have some Guts and own being a reductionist of the rankest variety.

This is the Science & Technology Board and we seem to be wandering too far from either of these.

So, could we get back on topic please.

If you want to discuss Reductionism vs Holism, Vlad, that is fine - but please take it somewhere else, such as Ethics & Freethought.

No more please Vlad - is that clear?

Even this is becoming disruptive, so it ends here or I lock the thread and remove off-topic posts before re-opening it.

It means absolutely NOTHING.. It is not educational in that it does nothing nor helps man in any field of life on earth.

It adds nothing to life...
...a bit like your post then, it adds absolutely NOTHING to this thread!  :P
