Why? You don't need it or use it.
I think you fail to see my stand on science. For me it is a belief system.
You've repeated this self-contradiction a number of times Frank. What on earth are you involved in that leads you to separate yourself from science if not a belief system of your own making?? If science is to be denounced because it is a belief system so should all belief systems including your own. You don't make any sense. You are not consistent.
It is more like this Frank. "I believe in immaterial fairies. Those of a scientific persuasion ridicule my beliefs. Not believing in immaterial fairies is also just a belief. Therefore science is a belief system. My fantasies and science are on an equal footing and are equally grounded in reality."
Yes there are times it produces some devices which make living easier
These are not accidents Frank. These devices are made possible because the laws that science discovers are correct otherwise these devices would not work.
For me the people buried in science and religion are the same. They wish to control the thinking of all men.
Which is why you review your math every few years or so?? So you can detect when it is being used as this is a tell that someone is trying to control your thinking?
Frank is just bummed that the facts of science rein in his imaginary fantasies. He puts so much energy into their creation and expansion just to have them clipped and trimmed by the facts of science that he is really getting very pouty faced now.
To actually think for yourself is not allowed.
Oh of course it is as your very existence proves. You are free to walk off a cliff and disprove the law of gravity Frank. The law is just another case of the scientific establishment trying to control your thinking.
For me I don't think man will advance to a greater society until we break these chains and have respect for each other.
I am picturing Frank holding a sign in public that reads, "Have respect for those who walk off cliffs."
I have no problem with you embracing science. But you have a problem with me not embracing it.
Not so, please feel free to walk off a cliff.
These systems we create are born of ego and a weak mind.
Yeah ok. You go and invent the calculus instead of reading it from a book, then I'll believe you have something other than a weak mind.
We make systems that assume that people are not equal.
So you are as strong as Arnold Schwarzenegger? What you are not equal?? Is Arnold as strong now as he was in his youth? What? He isn't equal through all time? What a wacky "assumption" that people are not equal! According to Frank people should be like the contents of a can of Pringles.
Our systems divide and do not unite.
Unlike Frank, who has brought about a great unity of mankind,... oh wait.
But a day will come when all of these systems will go away and mankind will slowly turn away from inequality. A day will come in which all men will have joy and free will will be the guiding principle.
That's the day of tyranny Frank. It's the day that you are free to steal from another because they have something you don't and there are no laws to restrain your free will.
But until that day comes I will use my free will as I see fit. This may not sit well with others but that is their problem not mine.
Don't get caught by the law Frank. "Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do when they come for you..."
