Rationalism is "any view appealing to reason as a source of knowledge or justification".In more technical terms it is a method or a theory "in which the criterion of the truth is not sensory but intellectual and deductive"
But what is intellect ..a relative term ...It's funny how so called rationalist can influence so called educated strata by their witty and fancy words.
I'll make a correction here and not stereotype all rationalists but i have a serious question isn't it true that human mind can "rationalise any thing as per convenience"
....just need to figure out the hidden convenience though..
Aneway I had fabulous time watching the videos on http://www.nirmuktafrauds.info/psychic-yoga-challenge-yogi-ashwini-vs-rationalists.htm
It's amazing must watch how the rationalist got irate and the one who was being questioned was laughin it off...
But truly I love the way they can lie.. :)
Yogi Ashwini is sounding far more 'rational' than the rationalists themselves!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are foolish vultures in sheep skin who cant hide for long as truth wins at the end of every battle.
ReplyDeleteI feel that if you are probing and questioning (anyone who is trying to influence you or generally preaching), because you are seeking clarifications to comprehend the truth more comprehensively for youeself , then you are headed towards the right direction. It is this probing and questioning that'll help you separate the men from the boys (metaphorically speaking of course) and help you achieve a higher level of understanding. However, you must avoid trapping any rational person (even a wannabe rational) in line of questions that are more periphrastic in nature closely resembling the socratic method of questioning. That's just wrong.
