Shimmering Brilliance
We think that we can think about anything, that we have such immutably correct reasoning, that we can craft impervious arguments with epistemic power. However, we forget that this is merely a biological, mental process. There are humans that exist without such reasoning capabilities. Does this make them less valid as human beings?

We think that we can think about anything, that we have such immutably correct reasoning, that we can craft impervious arguments with epistemic power. However, we forget that this is merely a biological, mental process. There are humans that exist without such reasoning capabilities. Does this make them less valid as human beings?Animals can not reason. But they can feel. Does this make us superior? My point is that elitist intellectuals think that they know everything. They ration away the emotion of life, the very humanity of their being. With no feelings and no emotions, they numbly reason through life in cold, detached skepticism. Where is the spirituality? (Human, not religious.) Have we lost all capacity for empathy? For hope? For faith? (Again, not religious per se) Thinking is not complete without feeling.
