Simon Paynton replied to the topic Pretty much sums up the frustration of modern academics in the forum
Humanism 5 years, 11 months agoI think @unseen might be right if he thinks that the workings of morality are too abstract and difficult for the average person to get into. It took me three years to understand and be able to add to Michael Tomasello’s book, A Natural History of Morality.

I respect your critical thinking. Let’s let the professional debunkers chime in like Csicop.org. The wiki updates usually reference critical thinkers also. I implore you to scour the internet for any signs of perpetration of fraud, deception or collusion. Just be mindful that the U.S. govt., funded researched at the ranch for years an…[Read more]
