You’re only 1% if you don’t Tweet
The fast-food nature of Twitter gives rise to much noise, and many inflated egos – but sometimes matters far less than we think it does.
Tuning out (and in)
Both sorts of interacting – the immediate (Twitter), and the traditional (books) – with words, and with ideas, are valuable. We shouldn’t neglect or demonize either of them – but rather make sure we take full advantage of both.
Supernaturalism and threats to reason
Supernaturalism and religion create a climate of unreason, where we are allowed to hold unchallenged beliefs that may not prove advantageous to our survival or flourishing. It does so by allowing individuals to believe propositions that are not supported by evidence, or ones that are supported only by “evidence” provided by theoretical paradigms that are themselves supernaturalistic.
