It seems h...I'm a bit confused by this author. <br />It seems he is a reductionalist, meaning that we are nothing but an amalgamation of cells that become unconsciously hardwired to think a certain way. Moreover, his thinking implies that there is no such thing as free will, as our decisions can be steered by plotting politicians. <br />However, a premise in his thought on real and false reason establishes some degree of free will, which is entirely politically motivated. This is one of his many inconsistencies. <br />These are my initial thoughts. Besides the fact that he sets himself up as an intellectual elitist, I will have to ponder some of his strange conclusions a little more.tomschulztehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15897529366408648406noreply@blogger.com
