@jcsteen When I say that you *should* be logically consistent and attentive to evidence, have I "left science"? -
@SamHarrisOrg only thing you can reliably prescribe those tools to is science itself.For anything else you're making unwarranted assumptions -
@jcsteen Those tools apply to reasoning in general. And is every axiom an "unwarranted assumption"? -
@SamHarrisOrg for example, not everyone sees decreased suffering as a priority. -
@jcsteen@SamHarrisOrg True - psychopaths and sociopaths always make for great moral arbiters.
