| May 4 at 18:04 | comment | added | TheMatrix Equation-balance | @Rushi - I don't know, I don't take it seriously. Can you take seriously the way a man looks at a woman when he is 18? | |
| May 4 at 17:44 | comment | added | Rushi | @TheMatrixEquation-balance I just came across this. I find it a neat conspective view of the tension between the progressive and conservative viewpoints — productively encouraging inquiry that may upset and and maintaining a stable environment with clear red lines | |
| May 4 at 15:37 | comment | added | TheMatrix Equation-balance | @Rushi - It is an obvious fact that large corporations and entrenched academia can effectively block new ideas when they threaten their turf. | |
| May 4 at 15:15 | comment | added | Rushi | Well dunno on that one @TheMatrixEquation-balance!! I call myself a classic conservative in the original English. American sense that If it ain't broke don't fix it is a more sound default policy than Progress for the sake of Progress¡ | |
| May 4 at 15:12 | comment | added | TheMatrix Equation-balance | @Rushi - Fighting stubborn conservatism is a noble cause :) And you have to accept some battle damage. | |
| May 4 at 14:38 | comment | added | Rushi | We are the outliers out here @TheMatrixEquation-balance. I like to believe that if Socrates or Wittgenstein were to stumble into here, they would not just be closed and deleted but banned for life. See this answer. I regard it as an outstanding answer. Now see the writer's ban period 😀. Anyways your Accept is gratefully accepted ! | |
| May 4 at 14:34 | comment | added | TheMatrix Equation-balance | @Rushi - I appreciate your heroic effort, but this question is just one vote away from being closed. :( | |

| May 4 at 14:05 | comment | added | Rushi | What's triggered you I cant make out @Groovy. But anyways: Ive reworked the answer in the hope of being clearer. If it was the comment re. 19th century being the heyday of materalism: That was a side comment in answer to another comment and is not germane to this question/answer | |

Reworked

| May 3 at 13:37 | comment | added | Rushi | @TheMatrixEquation-balance Actually no values is a value (of super low value) Just as zero is a number — the smallest. One of the early classes in metaphysics runs No metaphysics is bad metaphysics | |
| May 3 at 13:13 | comment | added | TheMatrix Equation-balance | @Groovy - Sometimes, those with No God, No Czar in their head are worse in life than those with brainwashed ones. It is better to grow up with the wrong values than with no values at all. | |
| May 3 at 4:55 | comment | added | Groovy | Poor Rushi is so obsessed with his religious brainwashing, he is trying to imagine that modern science serves his myths. :) | |
| May 3 at 3:25 | comment | added | Rushi | That materialism (more correctly naturalism) is self-inconsistent I've written here. Though admittedly that answer needs to be cleaned up | |
| May 3 at 3:14 | comment | added | Rushi | Yes materialism was at its heyday in the 19th century: Dalton and a world made of billiard balls called atoms, Mendeleef and the neat 2-d arrangement of these balls and finally the sunset with Thomson and the electron. One could claim that the 100 fold table of dalton-mendeleef got replaced fir a few decades by electron,proton, neutron. But then the bottom fell out with zillions of 'elementary' socalled particles. After the 1950s anybody who believes in matter is either clueless or living out of phase in imaginary past. Curiously that includes a majority of physicists. Kuhn describes curiosity | |
| May 3 at 2:49 | comment | added | TheMatrix Equation-balance | "People who 'believe in' God in the usual sense are typically focused on things like prayer" - Regarding idealism vs materialism, Ulyanov Lenin famously said: "Only an idiot can be a consistent materialist". | |
