It seems many ppl are in favour a strong moderate centre to oppose far-right &far-left as long as centre of centre is seen as where they are
I think its clear the most irrational views come from extremist fringes politically whether white genociders or far-left SocJus

A classical or universal liberalism which spans both left &right tends to stay true to enlightenment respect for science & reason
-
Yes. For those that can genuinely maintain it. How many can and do? ;)
-
Again a different point. We shouldn't stop advocating reason & moderation because some ppl who claim it do badly at it.
-
Take this point. Reason and moderation as Descartes. Immoderation as Newton. Science/facts are not 'moderate'.
-
This has nothing to do with anything I have said. You are arguing with yourself so pls untag me from it.
-
It does, but explaining things in 140 characters at a time just does not work. I shall give up.
-
You seem to be making a lot of assumptions about some very tangential things. Science/facts are apolitical.

Heh. Alan Johnson vs Prof. David Nutt. Eric Pickles throwing the Environment Agency scientists under the bus. It's all political

Um. Tricky. How are you measuring? Quantity? Quality? The mainstream 'moderate' world is full of very bad and deadly ideas too.

eg the extreme view 'deport all non-white people' is less reasonable than moderate 'restrict immigration & vet immigrants'
