oneirophreniaEnd of the Enlightenment. A surprisingly thoughtful analysis of why people are attracted to Institutionalized Idiocy.
Fundamentalists are Just Like Us. But don't get too smug yet, folks--fundamentalists are not a psychological oddity. Rather, they're just people like you and I...who just happen to be fucking stupid.
Enemy at the Gates. Fundamentalism threatens science? Oh, really? Never would've thought.
Blind Faith in Science. But what is THIS? Scientists can be fundamentalists, too?! You're goddamned right they can. ANYone who places blind faith in ANYthing is a fundamentalist. That is, a pea-brained moron who doesn't deserve to have a cerebral cortex.
Pretty sobering reading. Which is why I say, now more than ever, ALL FORMS of fundamentalism must be wiped out--by violence if necessary. Preferably by violence, actually, since everyone knows the only way to change a zealot's mind is to blow it out the back of his head with a shotgun shell.
Wait a second....That was a very fundamentalist statement, wasn't it?
I guess that means I am an anti-fundamentalist fundamentalist! That is soooooooooo de-vo.
