Nice to see some philosophy here and there. Yesterday a Buber quote and today an interesting take on ethics informed by scientific observation. I’ve been thinking about how embracing scientific reality and most theological ontologies doesn’t create more cognitive dissonance with some crossover to the thought here. There’s a lot of talk about critical thinking, but it is actually really difficult to unify our various beliefs while even remaining somewhat logically consistent.
