Good for you, but you missed the critique, it was about not taking responsibility of your own flaws. We are all ignorant about lots of things. But blaming others for our own flaws, isn't constructive for anyone.

If it conformed to reality there wouldn't be any cartels, monopolies & oligopolies.
It is an utopic delusion, which like any delusion conforms reality to its presuppositions. Rather than than adjusting its theorie...

Gold has no objective value, it fluctuates depending on demand & supply.

Epistemology: Scientific Rationalism, Scientific Evidentialism, Scientific Skepticism, Scientific NaturalismEthics:
- Descriptive: Sociologists, Anthropologists, Psychologists, Cultural historians
- Explanatory: Evolutionary psychologists, cultural historians
- Normative: Moral Psychologist
- Metaethics: (Moral Relativism)
The Personalist's view that cognitive inputs drive morally worthy action. Moral perceptions & thoughts combine with morally decent desires and emotions to create moral motivation only in the presence of appropriate habits (only when one has good caracter). I use implicit knowledge of 'the good', and explicit knowledge of heuristics to determine which moral system works best. Transactional Analysis is my main method of determining what is 'good'.
Holds the view that ethics are mainly relative to a social group/individual, the individual prevents nihilism (anything goes) and moral swaysion to convince the other person..
Values:
understanding the universe
respect for evidence
logical consistency
intellectual honesty
parsimony
anti-authoritarianism
full disclosure
Physics:
Model dependent reality: Scientific Naturalism
Aestetics:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, there might be some universal beauty: Denis Dutton: A Darwinian theory of beauty.
As a anti spiritualists, I still enjoy the beauty of nature and the hubble & spitzer space telescope photographs.
Politics: biased towards Progressive Social Liberalism (middle of the spectrum).
Whats the purpose of my live as a Freethinker, to learn (Science), experience and help others out.
And don't fall for the teleological fallacy.
