Edit of [[on mini cogsci]]

This is an edit of this blogpost: https://postrox.tumblr.com/post/704768569947340800/on-mini-cogsci.

"mini cogsci" was a research-focused Obsidian-Logseq knowledge base and my attempt to learn cognitive science from first principles. In theory, networking a fine distribution of specific claims would have provided a parsimonious study of cognitive science that would have been appropriate for my knowledge and scholarship level. Such parsimonious approaches also play off how I personally accrue trivia and knowledge from the internet, of which can best be described as a set of bypasses to cognitive limitations. Unfortunately, I did not develop this knowledge base.

I strongly suspect the lack of development in the knowledge base, even when the setup of specific distributed claims was essentially perfect for the digital structure, was a kind of paralysis surrounding my perennial problem of knowledge: How do I properly reference other people? To what extent do the authors, in publishing, own their ideas and words?

The easy solution would be to ignore the words and quotations outright and focus only on the ideas. However, this is not as easy as it sounds. Focusing only on the ideas assumes that the reader can always interpret the author's words correctly. To misinterpret words, be it as mild as skipping negatives or as severe as having impaired comprehension, is also misinterpreting ideas. The gist -- any gist, correctly interpreted or not -- is not always enough.

Additionally, rewriting the author's ideas is highly inefficient when the student or researcher is in the exploiting/publishing mode. Through the lens of pure information management, "the constant rewriting of personal knowledge management seems much more like a fundamental limitation of the process". We have no guarantee that rewriting everything we see in our own words will make us remember it. The only guarantee we have is that it is our own words. Which does not even mention that we still (occasionally) remember direct quotes, words, bits of things verbatim. If one cannot search this explicit query in their knowledge base, their knowledge base is either insufficient.

At the time of this writing I have just downloaded the reference manager Zotero. I expect I will in time see that this would be a mandatory part of scholarship and digesting papers and essays. Even if I do not make bibliographies every week, having a central repository of references and metadata (and even their sources!) will ameliorate the strain in copying and pasting URLs and titles.

As for the knowledge base itself, I am somewhat wary of it's emergence as a competent communication partner. It seems like Luhmann's slipbox was itself a microcosm and a proof-of-concept of his own autopoietic social systems theory. Describing his slipbox as a publication machine and surprise generator (a pre-requisite to a serendipity engine, I should mention) is to describe the action or the processes of the entity itself. His slipbox was a sealed communication partner; translucent at best, opaque at worst. For me to follow in Luhmann's footsteps with a similar cognitive science slipbox would be to begin at autopoiesis and end at cognition; my slipbox, in time, will also have a kind of cognition. But I understand very little of cognition. How can I leap for the stars when I do not know the stars even exist? It is a paradox. A chicken and egg. Still I remain paralyzed.

Of course, I could be blocking myself before I even begin. According to Luhmann, it takes quite some time for the slipbox to attain critical mass and begin to converse with the researcher. Therefore, the cognitive traits of my slipbox could similarly emerge over time rather than begin all at once.

If I begin work on this slipbox, I will need to draw on my own accrued knowledge management insights to maintain momentum. While I wish I could follow Scott Scheper's Antinet principles to the T, my project notes for this prospective slipbox are rapidly growing and hinting to me something more complex. I have to take the ruggedness of the Antinet and mix it with the nimbleness of my own mind, and then bake it in the pragmatics of my various note-taking failures. What did Luhmann say about his supertheory? Theory of society; time period, 30 years; costs, none. Something like that. I suppose I can offer nothing less to my personal study of cognition.

The Happiness Hypothesis: Chapter 8, “The Felicity of Virtue”

This chapter was about virtue, and the claim that leading a virtuous life will lead us to happiness. Haidt points out that our idea of virtue has changed radically in the last few hundred years; he then evaluates this claim in light of both the old and new ideas of virtue.

Here’s the quotes he starts with:

Epicurus: It is impossible to live the pleasant life without also living sensibly, nobly and justly, and it is impossible to live sensibly, nobly and justly without living pleasantly.

Buddha: Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, and you will be filled with joy. A fool is happy until his mischief turns against him. And a good man may suffer until his goodness flowers.

Is this true, or is it just what authority figures want us to believe so that we’ll behave? But virtue does not necessarily mean doing what we’re told; sometimes it means ignoring what our parents say, and running off on grand adventures, and building character in the process.

Haidt tells the story of Ben Franklin, who runs away from his apprenticeship with his brother (an unvirtuous act according to the “do what you’re told” model of virtue), but who actively works to cultivate virtue, and ends up very successful at life. The story of Ben Franklin makes it sound like Haidt views virtue as an internal endeavor -- figuring out what’s important to you, and then cultivating your own virtues and living according to them -- rather than an external thing where you blindly follow whatever you’re told to do.

Haidt spends the beginning of the chapter explaining why our modern conception of virtue is weird.

In ancient Greece, people had a very different concept of virtue than we do today.

It was not all about selflessness, giving to charity, and repressing our sexuality.

Rather, Aristotle’s idea of virtue, called arete, was about excellence: about doing something well. “The arete of a knife is to cut well; the arete of an eye is to see well[.]”

“He was saying that a good life is one where you develop your strengths, realize your potential, and become what it is in your nature to become.”

The Virtues of the Ancients

The ancients wrote about morality in a different way than we do today.

(1) They wrote about virtues (e.g. “honesty, justice, courage, benevolence, self-restraint, and respect for authority”), and “specified actions that were good and bad with respect to those virtues”. The virtues were not just for helping others; they were supposed to “benefit the person who cultivates them.”

(2) They “rely heavily on maxims and role models rather than proofs and logic.” This form of moral instruction inspires the elephant instead of reasoning with the rider. This is good, because it’s ultimately the elephant that makes the decisions.

(3) The ancient texts “emphasize practice and habit rather than factual knowledge.” You can know all the moral rules that you want, but it takes practice to become a virtuous person. Practice is how you train the elephant. So the ancient texts give exercises and activities that you can use to cultivate virtue.

How the West Was Lost

Two principles led Western thought (especially during the enlightenment) away from this conception of ethics.

(1) Parsimony: science teaches us to “search for the smallest set of laws that can explain the enormous variety of events in the world”. People applied this thinking to morality, and started looking for a single moral principle from which all morality could be derived, instead of using these long lists of virtues.

(2) Rationality: reason was supposed to be the center of the human mind, the thing that separated us from animals, so naturally, reason should be in charge of morality as well.

Two enlightenment philosophers, Kant and Bentham, tried to propose a single moral principle from which all of ethics could be derived.

Kant suggested the “categorical imperative”: moral laws should apply universally to everyone at all times, so if you are trying to decide whether an action is moral, you need to ask whether it could be proposed as a universal law. For instance, Haidt says “If you are planning to break a promise that has become inconvenient, can you really propose a universal rule that states people ought to break promises that have become inconvenient?”

Bentham proposed utilitarianism: the principle of creating the most good for the most people. An action was moral if it increased global utility.

The followers of Kant (”deontologists”) still argue with the followers of Bentham (”consequentialists”).

But they agree on many important things:

(1) “Decisions should be based ultimately on one principle only, be it the categorical imperative or the maximization of utility.”

(2) “They both insist that only the rider can make such decisions because moral decision making requires logical reasoning and sometimes even mathematical calculation.”

(3) “They both distrust intuitions and gut feelings, which they see as obstacles to good reasoning.”

(4) “And they both shun the particular in favor of the abstract: You don’t need a rich, thick description of the people involved, or of their beliefs and cultural traditions. You just need a few facts and a ranked list of their likes and dislikes (if you are a utilitarian). It doesn’t matter what country of historical era you are in; it doesn’t matter whether the people involved are your friends, your enemies, or complete strangers. The moral law, like a law of physics, works the same for all people at all times.”

These two philosophies have changed the way western society thinks about morality.

“The philosopher Edmund Pincoffs has argued that consequentialists and deontologists worked together to convince Westerners in the twentieth century that morality is the study of moral quandaries and dilemmas. Where the Greeks focused on the character of a person and asked what kind of person we should each aim to become, modern ethics focuses on actions, asking when a particular action is right or wrong.”

“This turn from character ethics to quandary ethics has turned moral education away from virtues and toward moral reasoning. If morality is about dilemmas, then moral education is training in problem solving.”

Instead of teaching children specific moral facts, we teach them how to solve moral problems on their own.

Haidt has two problems with this.

(1) “It weakens morality and limits its scope.” Ideas of virtue used to infuse everything a person would do. Now we only think about morality when confronting specific moral dilemmas, which are usually “tradeoffs between self-interest and the interests of others”. Morality applies when we’re wondering whether to cheat on a partner, or whether to give to charity. We no longer use morality to think about things like working hard for our own long-term gain, or developing a skill.

(2) “[I]t relies on bad psychology.” We teach children moral principles, and show them examples of other people reasoning their way through moral quandaries. And children are supposed to take away from this the ability to reason morally. Which they do; when they sit down and think about it, people are able to apply the principles and come to a moral conclusion. But this doesn’t translate into action; it takes more than reason to persuade the elephant. Haidt gives an example of how he believed, rationally, in the virtue of vegetarianism, but never actually acted on that principle until he saw a slaughterhouse video that viscerally disgusted him.

The Virtues of Positive Psychology

There has been pushback against the modern idea of morality.

Some of it is from conservative Christians.

Some of it is from a philosopher named Alasdair MacIntyre who argues that “creating a universal, context-free morality was doomed from the beginning” and that we need specific virtues, grounded in a specific cultural tradition, in order to find meaning and purpose in life.

And some of it is from positive psychology.

Positive psychology was founded by Martin Seligman, who noticed that psychology was only focusing on the problems and pathologies we experience. We have a whole book (the DSM) designed for classifying problems, but no equivalent diagnostic manual for recognizing the specific ways that people can live a good life.

So Seligman and another psychologist named Peterson tried creating a diagnostic manual of strengths and virtues. Their goal was to make the list applicable to any human culture. So they looked through every list of virtues they could find, and wrote down six very broad classes of virtues that every culture considers important. Those virtues are: wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence. Cultures may disagree on how to weight these virtues, but they all agree that they are, indeed, virtues.

For each one, Peterson and Seligman also made a list of “strengths of character”, which are specific ways of achieving each virtue. For wisdom, for instance, the list is curiosity, love of learning, judgment, ingenuity, emotional intelligence, and perspective.

One piece of research that’s come out of this list is: focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses.

It’s easier and more rewarding to cultivate strengths rather than weaknesses.

And sufficient strength in one virtue can compensate for weakness in another.

People who try to fix weaknesses will often find themselves giving up in despair.

But people who work on their strengths will often find themselves improving as a human being.

Haidt spends the end of the chapter trying to answer the “virtue hypothesis”, the claim that living virtuously will make us happy.

Hard Questions, Easy Answers

For the ancient idea of virtue, it’s easy to answer the virtue hypothesis. If virtue just means cultivating personal excellence, and you focus on your strengths (things you find intrinsically rewarding), then of course living virtuously can bring you happiness.

But what about for “our restricted modern understanding of morality as altruism”? Does acting against our own self-interest make us happy, or benefit us in some way?

Religious leaders say yes: if you act virtuously, you will go to heaven, or be reincarnated in a better form during your next lifetime.

But this belief in divine punishment / reward can be traced to various psychological principles (whether or not god is real).

(1) Immanent justice: this is the belief that, if you do something bad, then something bad will happen to you in return. It’s very common among children at a certain stage of development but we see it in adults too, as people try to make sense of terrible things happening in their (or others’) lives. It’s part of the human instinct for reciprocity.

(2) The myth of pure evil (discussed in Chapter 4): we think people are purely good or purely evil, but really, they aren’t. “Moral motivations (justice, honor, loyalty, patriotism) enter into most acts of violence, including terrorism and war. Most people believe their actions are morally justified.” So Haidt’s argument is that, if heaven and hell existed, few people would qualify for either.

Science also gives us an easy answer: the virtues evolved because they are good for us, and help us to propagate our genes. Kindness and cooperation help us either through kin altruism (helping others who bear the same genes) or reciprocal altruism (you’re kind, so someone else is kind to you in return).

But just because something is evolutionarily beneficial doesn’t mean it makes us happy. Our genes also motivate us to seek status instead of happiness, and that definitely makes us less happy.

Also, what about practicing the virtues when they don’t lead to reciprocal altruism? What about performing acts of kindness that you know will never be repaid? Does that still make us happy?

So neither religion nor science’s easy answer is satisfying.

Hard Questions, Hard Answers

So does helping people really make us happy?

Studies have shown that altruism correlates with happiness, but this could just be because happier people are more likely to be altruistic. Indeed, when you make people happier, they are more likely to behave altruistically.

Is there any evidence that altruism makes people happy? Yes, but it depends on the life stage. For teenagers, studies have found that volunteering increases prosocial behavior but doesn’t increase happiness; for adults volunteering does increase happiness; and this is especially pronounced for the elderly.

This could partially be because of the social benefits -- teenagers already have good social lives and don’t need to find a community through volunteering, but as people get older (and especially once they’re elderly), volunteering provides a valuable source of community.

It could also be because of life narratives. Volunteering helps you build a good life narrative, so it matters more for adults who already have a solid life narrative to build on. Also, “in old age, generativity, relationship, and spiritual strivings come to matter more, but achievement strivings seem out of place,” so volunteer work is especially fitting for an elderly person’s life story.

The Future of Virtue

"Scientific research supports the virtue hypothesis, even when it is reduced to the claim that altruism is good for you.”

“When it is evaluated in the way that Ben Franklin meant it, as a claim about virtue more broadly, it becomes so profoundly true that it raises the question of whether cultural conservatives are correct in their critique of modern life and its restricted, permissive morality.”

As a society, we’ve lost a strong sense of shared cultural values, and this has led us into anomie.

We’ve gone from a society of producers, with values such as self-restraint, to a society of consumers, where people are encouraged to seek personal fulfillment.

Also, our society is increasingly diverse, and values inclusivity. This leads people to seek out a least common denominator of virtue, thereby ignoring some of the specific ones that give each culture its flavor and give people a strong grounding in their values.

So, as a society, we have undergone tradeoffs: we’ve chosen inclusivity, which makes life much better for immigrants, women, African Americans, gay people, etc., even if it erases our strong foundation of virtues.

Even if you don’t think the tradeoffs were worth it, there’s no way to go back to the 1950s, or to an ethnically homogeneous pre-consumer society.

“Diversity” has become a positive buzzword in liberal culture, but there are two kinds of diversity, demographic and moral. Demographic is good; it helps us include groups that were previously mistreated. But moral diversity is what causes anomie and conflict.

“Liberals are right to work for a society that is open to people of every demographic group, but conservatives might be right in believing that at the same time we should work much harder to create a common, shared identity.”

Haidt thinks there’s something to the conservative view that we ought to teach children morals and values, instead of leaving them to figure it out themselves.

It may be too late for this now, given the current state of the culture war. If this is going to happen, it will need to come from some sort of grassroots movement where a community joins together to educate children according to a particular set of virtues.

Maybe we won’t have as solid or cohesive of a culture as we would if we abandoned our commitment to diversity, but we will be a more just culture.

If you want to go for nursing in future, you can choose to research things linked to a distinct medical disorder and produce the project in the form of an informational booklet. Thus, the normal approach in teaching the children isn’t appropriate for adult education. The person is the principal focus but how each theorist defines the nursing metaparadigm gives an exceptional take specific to a specific theory.

What Schools Can Learn About Communication From the Vatican’s Former Social Media Chief

In 2017, Monsignor Paul Tighe may have been the only priest amidst a sea of techies at South by Southwest (SXSW), where he spoke about his past experience serving as Secretary of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications for the Catholic Church. (Think “social media director” for the Catholic Church.)

Odd as his presence may have seemed, it was not out of the ordinary for the Church, which first devised a social media strategy around 2010. Two years later, Pope Benedict XVI made a Twitter account, which today claims nearly 18 million followers.

Monsignor Tighe is now the Secretary of the Pontifical Council for Culture in the Vatican. But he’s a teacher at heart. In a conversation with us, Monsignor Tighe shared hard-won, pragmatic, and clear principles about communications, technology, and the bonds we build. Taken as a whole, his comments offer guidance and guardrails to teachers, administrators, technology directors, and anyone interested in the cultural or communal aspects at schools or other organizations.

Monsignor Tighe calls his educational profile and path “one of the most disjointed you will ever find.” In secondary school in Ireland, he pursued science, thinking he was heading for a career in medicine. Toward the end of his secondary school experience, though, he shifted to “healing in the broader sense,” reading more deeply in the humanities. Philosophy and theology followed, and then law school, where he learned “a way of thinking and a way of analyzing, and also to be parsimonious with the use of words.”

More philosophy and theology followed, and he was ordained a priest in 1983. After that, as his vocation dictated, he taught religion and civics in high school, and professional ethics to people in the field of medicine and other professions. He developed his personal theory of communication in the classroom, and it served him well when he was called to the Vatican to work specifically on the burgeoning field of digital communication.

Monsignor Tighe: While teaching I learned that I was responsible not only for transmission, but also for reception. It doesn’t matter how well you teach or what you’re saying; the real vindication and judgment to be made about the quality of your teaching is when you interact with your students and listen to understand, or correct examinations in order to understand what they’ve understood. Specifically in secondary school, I learned that you’re responsible not just for what you’re saying, but for what the other person is understanding.

A lot of that is about understanding the other person’s culture, their vocabulary, realizing what’s working or not working in the way you’re teaching. For all my subsequent work, I feel that good communication comes from being an insecure teacher. Even if I’m preaching, to this day, I don’t use a text. I watch people’s faces. I can see if they’re lost or if they’re following me, and I think it’s my responsibility to complete the communication cycle at some level.

When I arrived in the Vatican around 2007-2008, everything was beginning to happen with digital communications. I was lucky. I had no professional training. I didn’t come from TV, radio or newspapers. I had none of the traditional loyalties, and I moved very quickly to focus on digital. This was partly because nobody knew too much about that area. I saw that they would all have to change their way of acting, their way of working, in order to be accommodated on digital platforms. Such platforms are much more about the integration of text, visual images, and voice than previous traditional media.

I also became more interested in digital changes as not only something that affected media, but also, and more important, something that affects our whole culture. We now live in a world where young people, in particular, can produce media, express themselves, are used to expressing themselves, have different ways of learning, have different ways of finding out information. They have different ways of forming relationships and friendships that I think go way beyond the concerns of media, and it really opens up a cultural issue.

A year and a half ago, Pope Francis asked me to move into the Department of Culture with a particular responsibility for looking at the implications of the digital revolution on the culture of the church and on the culture of the world.

Asked to pay attention to and notice how digital media or digital habits were influencing people, not only from a marketing or consumption perspective, but also from a relational or cultural angle, Monsignor Tighe found ways to convert random intersections into a viable and generous network.

One of the things that I think we need very much nowadays is to broaden the concept of the teacher.

Monsignor Paul Tighe

Monsignor Tighe: People who don’t know the church terribly well tend to focus on Rome, and Rome is symbolically important; it’s a point of unity for Catholics globally. But the truth is that the Catholic church is at its strongest, very often, at the local level. We have a network of universities, communities and media resources throughout the world. A lot of our early thinking was to understand the Church as a network—as a community of communities—rather than to understand it, as we traditionally have, as a hierarchy.

A lot of our work in coordinating the Vatican’s engagement with digital media was actually trying to see where around the world things are being done well. Can we identify a best practice? And can we then share that with different people in different parts of the world who will have to adjust things for their own culture or context, for their own environments?

The key is to build stronger relationships between people. Communications always have two parts. The first is an exchange of information. The second is the building of relationships. In the digital environment, the relationship side of that equation becomes significantly more important.

Monsignor Tighe’s insights are instructive, even corrective, for educators, especially those pushing for technological interventions that might quicken or streamline certain instructional practices without necessarily maintaining pedagogical effectiveness.

Monsignor Tighe: Teaching, in my experience, is something magical. When you see people growing in their understanding as they grasp a concept that you’ve helped them to “get,” you’re teaching people to walk. You’re giving them autonomy. Very often they’ll be out-sprinting you. The really good students often take what you’ve given them, go back and correct it, and move on further.

If you look at and talk to people who have major achievements, very often they will point to a teacher who made a difference, who believed in them, who gave them confidence. One of the things that I think we need very much nowadays is to broaden the concept of the teacher. We have people who have in front of them extraordinary volumes of information. We have to help them learn how to discern, how to judge, how to be able to use their existing knowledge, their vindicated knowledge, to test what is being given to them by different sources.

We’re all conscious of the fake news problem. I think better curation is part of the answer, but I think it’s much more about enabling people to develop logical skills, to develop [a sense of] objectivity, to be less prone to being manipulated by more emotional presentations of arguments. I think a lot of those human skills are learned in relationships. They can be direct relationships, face-to-face, or they can be mediated relationships online.

As for the latter, I think those work best when there is already an existing face-to-face relationship. The digital then takes over, moves onwards, and develops and strengthens that relationship.

...new technologies mean that we have to teach people how to learn in network capacities,

Monsignor Paul Tighe

Monsignor Tighe is perhaps most incisive when he talks about the ways in which technology can support and even extend the most human parts of his work. Although he frames it from the context of his work in religion, his approach applies to practically any organization in which relationships matter.

Monsignor Tighe: The church exists precisely to communicate. If we’re not communicating and building relationships well, we’re failing as a church.

Therefore many church people have an interest in technologies and in platforms that enable them to bring people into discussion and into dialogue. I think the particular challenge for us as a church is, we’ve had to learn that the new digital platforms facilitate a type of communication that’s more interactive . . . that’s not simply, “I’m sitting quietly in the pew” and “you’re standing up at the microphone talking down to me.”

We’re learning as a church that even though the digital platforms allow us to put much more material out there to get our information across, if we want to engage people, if we want to actually impact people and change minds and change hearts, we actually have to allow people to question us—allow people to dialogue with what we’re saying.

We have to listen to people, engage with them empathetically, understand what their concerns are—and social media allows us to do that. It allows us to understand what’s worrying people, to see what’s on their mind, and then to join them on a journey and share our insights with them very much at the pace that they want.

Though he believes in the power of technology to build relationships, Monsignor Tighe also believes that we have to be vigilant in how we train both teachers and learners to approach the powerful tools at their disposal. There’s a shift he sees as inevitable but not entirely intuitive.

Monsignor Tighe: In the early days [of personal computing] there was a tendency to think that, first thing, we have to have a computer in every classroom ... that we have to have a SMART board in every classroom.

What wasn’t necessarily as good [back then] was the training of teachers to realize the potential of those means, and also of having to develop new ways of teaching in light of the technological platforms.

I’m old enough to remember a time when, if I went to the library to find books and couldn’t find what I was looking for, the library requested an interlibrary loan with another library, and a month or so later I may have got the textbook I was looking for. At that time the teachers were, in many ways, gatekeepers. They marched through a volume of information and then filtered that down and handed it to me, and that was it. I had no direct access to their sources of information.

That has all changed today. I can be teaching in class and realize that the kids I’m teaching are, with their tablets, looking at the materials on which I am basing my lesson. I can either feel threatened by that, or I can change my method and embrace the fact that they can directly access primary sources and earlier materials. I would hope that the whole methodology for teacher training is changing so that people are learning how to be guides and mentors and accompany people into the digital world, rather than to be gatekeepers.

I think a second thing that is very important is to help people see the potential to work and learn together, with others. Certainly the system I came out of was all about the individual, who did his or her work and was evaluated on his or her own work. I think new technologies mean that we have to teach people how to learn in network capacities so that they realize that the volumes of stuff we’re trying to deal with, the kind of issues we’re trying to look at, require people to work together.

Response To 'Freethinker' PropagandaPart 2

Dan Barker quotes Clarence Darrow as saying, I don't believe in God because I don't believe in Mother Goose as validation for 'Freethinkers'' holding a naturalistic worldview. Apparently Clarence did not hear the Paul Harvey radio program The Rest of the Story about the existence of the actual 'Mother Goose' who lived in the Massachusetts Colony during the Elizabethan Era. Therefore, given the rationalist/freethinker belief that if a statement is falsifiable it must be rejected, Clarence Darrow, and all who adhere to his rejection of God, must now reject that reason for their dogmatic atheism.

According to Dan Barker; To be a 'freethinker' one must confine reality to what is directly perceivable through the 'freethinker's' natural senses or 'reason'. 'Reason' confines the truth of a statement to the strict tests of the scientific method. To be true, a statement must be testable and have repeated tests confirm the validity of the statement. It must also be parsimonious (the simplest explanation with the fewest assumptions) and be logical (free of contradiction, non-sequiturs and irrelevant ad-hominem character attacks.

To adhere to the 'freethinkers' paradigm, then the freethinkers must reject the scientific method, logic and many other abstract concepts that have no physical, testable presence. They must also reject any and all emotions because they also are immaterial, untestable, and irrational. For the 'freethinkers' to allow themselves to use anything that cannot be subjected to their standards automatically refutes their claims of being a member of that group because it contradicts their standards.

For 'freethinkers' to base their morality on humanism (People who don't subscribe to any religion self-identify as Humanists. Humanism is a worldview that emphasizes the value of humanity and social justice while altogether rejecting supernatural concepts and religious dogma) and/or not hurting others, is not a solid base upon which to build a healthy civilization. The USSR and other Soviet-Inspired states were built upon humanist/scientific secular designs.

On 11/17/10 Brandon Norgaard posted in his website The Enlightened Worldview Project that his phenomenological and scientific reasoning has led me to the conclusion thatpeople have the natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. While many Americans and others in Western Democracies might wish to mockingly congratulate Brandon for catching up with John Locke or Thomas Jeffeson, they should hear him out. He did not arrive at his conclusion from the Judeo-Christian perspective, but as secular humanist.

According to him, This reasoning is rooted in the realization of the nonphysical aspect of humanity, which is called the soul. There is also an important realization that souls have free will, which is a supernatural concept because there are no natural processes through which all actions of souls, and by extension humans, can be reduced to. Finally there is the realization that the first person experience of right and wrong has a nonphysical aspect as well.

He refutes Dan Barker's position of 'Freethinker's Morality' of reason and kindness by stating, there is no way that morality, and by extension natural justice, can be real aspects of the universe regardless of anyone's mere personal opinion unless they are based on some form of nonphysical metaphysics. Quite simply, if everything that exists is physical, then there is no inherent right or wrong, there is just the way things are. The physical universe is not at all concerned with social justice or humanity per se.

This writer wonders, therefore; How can any atheist that claims to be a humanist even pretend to criticize a theist on the 'morality' of God or religion when such criticism relies on an non-existent cosmic absolute and is done in an unkind and unreasonable manner. The sheer hypocrisy of atheist freethinkers utilizing an objective moral standard (whose existence they deny) to condemn others people, not to mention the Creator of the Universe, is staggering, particularly morality does not exist as a physical, testable entity subject to empirical analysis?

Brandon Norgaard also states, Secular Humanism is not a coherent worldview in essence. A worldview that includes belief in a nonphysical aspect of the self is more rational and I believe more justified given the scientific and phenomenological evidence. While this embrace of a transcendent consciousness certainly not confirm the existence of God as Western Civilization views that entity, Brandon does not rule out some form of Creator. Rather, he requires one when he states, I do not reject belief in anything supernatural because the natural universe is not an explanation for itself. The best explanation is that the natural universe was created by something that is over and above nature, and this is a supernatural concept.

Though Brandon repudiates known mainstream religions when he states, This concept may be called God, but this does not mean that for one to believe this that they must have blind faith in God as a Christian or Muslim does. There is a reasonable justification for believing this and thus blind faith is not necessary. This is one strike against the Secular Humanist worldview.

When Dan Barker claims that morality can be based on human need or 'doing no harm' to any person, it can sound very fine and dandy. However, when real world scenarios are tried, they become capricious and arbitrary. When humans become the masters of the rules, the in group often becomes favored in catalogue of one-way rules such as those seen in any absolute rule society from the dawn of monarchy in the Tigris and Euphrates valleys through socialist dictatorships around the world from 1917 until now.

By basing morality on 'human needs', not imagined 'cosmic absolutes, Dan's essay comes into direct contradiction with Brandon's statements, as well as those of the vast majority of theists. The physiological needs of prison inmates are objectively met. .They have no job and therefore an abundance of free time, free food and drink, free cable and internet, free dental and medical care, etc. According to many activists on the political left, that should equate to paradise. Yet nearly all the prisoners in any jail or prison would take cold, wet, hungry and free over their relatively comfortable life in confinement.

The transcendent human soul, a high melding of intellect and will, has been known for thousands of years to need a purpose. For much longer, each individual human has sought to find their own meaning or goal in life beyond the mere animal drives of survival and reproduction. Their quests have, in large part, succeeded or failed based on how hard each person was willing to work and sacrifice to achieve their goal. The impacts of these goals on human society have depended upon the extent to which they abided within the bounds of both societal written law and the natural law freethinkers as so quick to deny.

According to Dan Barker, Moral dilemmas involve a conflict of values, requiring a careful use of reason to weigh the outcomeFreethinkers try to base actions on their consequences to real, living human being. This writer states unequivocally that such attitudes have been used throughout history to legitimize atrocities. The enslavement of captives and criminals in both Europe and the Americas was legitimized by arguing that their lives were better in bondage than in cells or primitive squalor. The euthanasia movements, both in the past and now, base their arguments on the notion that the lives of the insane, disabled, elderly or terminally ill are a burden both to themselves and others; therefore it is a mercy to all to end their lives. The abortion movement and Planned Parenthood argue that careless, recreational sex is a good thing, and that such activities should be without consequences. After all, burdening an unwed woman with an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy is terrible. The fetus would have a life of want and poverty. Therefore terminating the pregnancy is just. For the woman or girl it is a simple procedure and life returns to normal.

Freethinkers argue that religion promotes a dangerous and inadequate morality based on blind obedience, unexamined ultimatums, and pie-in-the-sky rewards of heaven or gruesome threats of hell, Dan Barker argues. That statement sounds like Dan made just the type of absolutist statement of condemnation he accuses religion of making.

Rather than make more cheap hypocrisy points, this author will direct Dan Barker to the sciences and reason he is so fond of. These fields of study were preserved and promoted by the Catholic Religious Orders, both male and female. The Catholic Church has believed for two thousand years that God is both rational and orderly. Those characteristics are discernable in His creations and to learn about these creations is to learn about God. The authors of the renaissance were not the 'protestant reformers.' Rather, they were the Catholic Religious Orders that opened educational institutions for children and adults. They were the monks and nuns who studied reason, medicine, logic, mathematics, genetics and astronomy and shared their findings with the public through institutions of learning, hospitals, orphanages and charity. Galileo did not get into his feud with the Pope over his heliocentric theory. It was because his arrogance led him to publicly break a promise he had made to the Pope.

The 'dangerous and inadequate' morality built on 'blind obedience' Dan Barker condemns seems to be a cartoonish slave state of fundamentalist Islam blended with the worst of Fundamentalist Puritanism displayed during the Salem Witch Trials. It bears no resemblance to true Christianity or any other mainstream Western or Asian theistic religion or philosophy when the true teachings are embodied though the believer's behavior.

In an earlier post, I noted that Dan is making his anti-religious arguments from the comforts of a civilization built, maintained and protected by a Christian ethos. The laws and unwritten expectations were based on Christian morals. Murder and theft, for example, were always wrong. Now, though, as relativism and other 'freethinking' ethics have entered the judicial systems of Western Civilization, the ethical standards are being rapidly eroded away by those unfettered by an absolute morality. 'Laws/Rules for thee, but not for me' has become almost a given in personal, business and social media conduct.

As the population looks back through time to when our civilization exercised the rules of self-restraint and delayed gratification, our civilization was more polite. When criminal behavior and unwed motherhood/fatherhood were both scandalous and rare, what do we see? We see absolute rules, codes of conduct that applied to all in equal measure. For millennia these rules were in place through all cultures, all over the world, in every civilization to some extent. Also, when these rules were flagrantly disobeyed, that civilization (from Babylon to Rome to Pre-Revolutionary France to Nazi Germany and Communist/Socialist regimes) declined and fell, often violently.
