Folk Music and the Environment
supersheep:
I kinda agree with zerodrone on one level, while disagreeing on another. Taken to the extreme, I don't believe that you can prove the existence of anything except the current sense data I am experiencing. On the other hand, in general I believe in objective reality. The extreme skepticism thing is a pretty silly belief to hold as fundamental.
Jackie Blue:
I have no problem with people who believe in an objective reality, only with people who claim that their belief in it is anything more than faith-based. In the big picture sense, reality itself defies any kind of rational explanation our tiny human minds can conceive of.
Also, and this applies to me as much as everyone else, "Never believe your own bullshit."
I think perhaps it has not come across in this thread that I am just as able to laugh at my own beliefs as I am to adhere to them. Po-faced, unquestioning rationalism just really gets on my tits. It's a form of Puritanical style thinking that studiously and arrogantly ignores the absolutely absurd nature of the human experience.
