I'd like to apologize to folks here. I can get bit obnoxious in defending my beliefs (suck for somebody who wants career in politics... or not?)
At the same time, I am not gonna step back from my hippiedom. It might not be all sciencey and measurable, but hey, it worked so far.
It's not even I doubted science... I just doubt it's purpose when it comes to human happiness, in making us content. Science did not really bring peace, within ourselves and outside. We can scan our brains, sure. And yet we are more and more unhappy in general. Lacking meaning in life (and sometimes we go as far as to pretend we don't need purpose...). And as a post-modernist, I see all truth and knowledge as relative, depending on what you looking for. I am a philosopher. And life cannot be measured, turned into tables and graphs. Or it can, but just because we can do it, doesn't mean we should.
I guess I just refuse to see myself as sick, broken brain... when I think the world is kinda broken too. I guess I am too sad and too angry at times, but please don't tell me it's all because I am broken, sick...
And I wish there were more philosophers in this world. Maybe that's what is wrong with it.
