Re: [mukto-mona] Re: To M. Harun uz Zaman (for Audrey manning)

Dear Tistarbahe,

Ah, yes! 

But then any norm that defines rationality must necessarily come from the human mind and we know how defective that mind happens to be.

A mad man still only resides in the eye of the beholder! :-)

Kindest regards and many thanks, 

Audrey

Dear Dr. Manning,

I understand your feeling regarding the limitation of human brain.

Instead of endless cycle of norm-less talks let me tell you why I 
value Dawkins over religionists and lamenters. As long I can marvel 
at my own limitation and can try to break free from it, that defines 
to me the ultimate human endeavor. In this exercise of freedom, I can 
defy any man made godly constraint. Dawkins and others like him helps 
me in this endeavor. The religionists are major hindrance.

Just because the understanding of the origin of the universe seems so 
hopeless does not mean that we should be lamenting fatalists. In 
spite of that grief of not knowing, we can work to improve the living 
conditions of our felow human beings, and set up a norm to define 
rationality. We should then have the courage to call a mad man MAD.
