Re: The little girl from Internet
Quote:
Quick story:
1. 11 year old girl posts naked photos of herself on 4Chan.
2. 4Chan community pisses her off, and she calls them names and threatens them saying she'll put a glock in their mouths, blabla, etc.
3. 4Chan community's hackers get her address, phone numbers, social websites, etcetera and send the naked pictures to all of her family and school etc. (basically massively fucking with her life.)

Holy Crap! That's terrible...

We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism.
It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door. - Richard Lewontin |
