About this user

Welcome to a dangerous new era - the Unlightenment - in which centuries of rational thought are overturned by idiots. Superstitious idiots. They're everywhere - reading horoscopes, buying homeopathic remedies, consulting psychics, babbling about "chakras" and "healing energies", praying to imaginary gods, and rejecting science in favour of soft-headed bunkum. But instead of slapping these people round the face till they behave like adults, we encourage them. We've got to respect their beliefs, apparently.

Well I don't. "Spirituality" is what cretins have in place of imagination. If you've ever described yourself as "quite spiritual", do civilisation a favour and punch yourself in the throat until you're incapable of speaking aloud ever again. Why should your outmoded codswallop be treated with anything other than the contemptuous mockery it deserves?

Maybe you've put your faith in spiritual claptrap because our random, narrative-free universe terrifies you. But that's no solution. If you want comforting, suck your thumb. Buy a pillow. Don't make up a load of floaty blah about energy or destiny. This is the real world, stupid. We should be solving problems, not sticking our fingers in our ears and singing about fairies.

Like computer viruses, successful mind viruses will tend to be hard for their victims to detect. If you're the victim of one, the chances are that you won't know it, and may even vigorously deny it. The patient typically finds themselves impelled by some deep, inner conviction that something is true, or right, or virtuous: a conviction that doesn't seem to owe anything to evidence or reason, but which, nevertheless, they feel as totally compelling and convincing. Doctors refer to such symptoms as 'belief' or 'faith'. Belief is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Belief is blindly following in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence. And the meme for 'belief' in any spirituality or dogma secures its own perpetuation by the simple unconscious expedient of discouraging rational inquiry.
