Thread Name: BS: Logical vs superstitious thinking
Subject: RE: BS: Logical vs superstitious thinking
"You are not THINKING, you are merely using logic."

Quote by Neils Bohr to Albert Einstein.

I once posted merely 50 pages of my suppositions regarding the quantum influences on thought itself. Such as the idea that observation and intention have an effect in other dimensions that defy our current closed minded idea of time and the 4th dimension. Some people liked it and some were offended. One member claimed recently that anything I post even now has no crediblitlity since "magical thinking" is baseless. (I still don't understand his motive or vehemence)

There are subjects where it is perfectly acceptable and necessary to use uber thinking and invention to describe new concepts or even the future itself. Jules Verne did a pretty good job of it. As for the critics and linear minds of his day, we do not remember their names.

If you take only a narrow interpretation of the concept of superstion, I would isolate the word superstion to a self centered religious dogma.
