Great, so let's all trip to dream land and believe whatever we're told to, because since all experience is subjective, everything that one says is true, at least to them. I'll start paying more attention to what the guys down at a mental clinic say, because since all experience is subjective, they can't be wrong, can they?

While your thinking, steve, makes sense to some extent, it allows someone who accepts it to create all sorts of wishful thinking based on things that they heard and chose to believe, because they "need no proof anymore".



edit: I forgot to add, i guess that after this article done by steve no one can deny anymore that there's a dragon in carl sagan's garage. Article down here written by CARL SAGAN. Hehe funny since he's the one that steve disagrees with.

Carl Sagan: The Dragon In My Garage

I agree that this qoute from steve cant be true. If we did search for proof out of fear and anxiety etc then surely those who did go through with it would be recognised as individual and brave
