Differences

Poking through some other journals, i was reminded of a conversation i had at a party/bbq last night. The content of the conversation isn't really that important. I basically fell into the "body as a science" people agianst the "body as a unique and beautiful snowflake, too intricate to ever understand" people. I am in the science group. It is possible for a matrix-type apparatus to be made, where everything you see, hear, feel, taste, and smell, is fake. totally made up. The other people where decidedly against it. they believe we wold just "know" it was fake. I don't believe that. funny thing about this whole event is that the people who disagreed with us science minded, cold hard facts, people were the ones getting flustered. Couldn't even comprehend where i was coming from. It was amazing watching people get so flustered when your refute thier wave-neuvo spiritualism with facts with a plausible application. And the crowning moment, when I knew this was going to a very bad place, was when they fell back to reflexes. Be cause, obviously, the brain doesn't have anything to do with reflexes. In fact, the brain doesn't even know the leg moved. LOL..... right.... I then explained that was an incorrect statement and why, the artfully moved on. I don't mind different belief systems, i just mind blindly believing that science is automatically wrong, even when proved right. Silly people..... just .... silly.
