It's amazing how many people think "you can't do that because my imaginary friend doesn't like it" is somehow a non-arbitrary basis for morality, while every other basis is arbitrary.Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237168576376185892.post-26460055292576013462012-05-23T04:16:09.976-07:002012-05-23T04:16:09.976-07:00It's distressingly easy for doctors to graduat...It's distressingly easy for doctors to graduate from medical school with only the vaguest of notions about scientific method. They're like engineers (a group within which, as you know, there also exists a fair number of creationists), in that they're taught the mechanics of their discipline, but not its philosophical underpinnings.<br /><br />That being said, it galls me that this man is at Johns Hopkins - and head of Pediatric Neurosurgery, no less. <i>And</i> he went to Yale as an undergrad, majoring in psychology. He's a perfect illustration of the reason we won't survive - humanity's seemingly endless ability to compartmentalize.<br /><br />(BTW, if you want people to Google him, you should include his first name.)Jeff Eygeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967707883565162538noreply@blogger.com
