"Human beings never think for themselves, they find it too uncomfortable. For the most part, members of our species simply repeat what they are told--and become upset if they are exposed to any different view. The characteristic human trait is not awareness but conformity, and the characteristic result is religious warfare. Other animals fight for territory or food; but, uniquely in the animal kingdom, human beings fight for their 'beliefs.' The reason is that beliefs guide behavior, which has evolutionary importance among human beings. But at a time when our behavior may well lead us to extinction, I see no reason to assume we have any awareness at all. We are stubborn, self-destructive conformists. Any other view of our species is just a self-congratulatory delusion."
-- Michael Crichton in The Lost World
This website is an attempt to assimilate all websites that contribute to enlightening those who wish to escape from the stifling clutches of religious dogma, intellectual stagnation, and baseless superstition.If you are someone who places alot of importance on these things and do not wish to see it dissolved and scattered by the winds of reason this site is probably not for you.This site was created in celebration of those who are truthseekers, who feel that truth is the highest aspiration that one can attain to, and who care not whither the truth may lead them.It is time for those who are deep in the slumber of their ignorance to awaken to their full potential and leave the toys and wistful dreams of their childhood behind and to live life in its fullest. |
