Some of what you quoted below is mine.
I'm afraid that you have been using words that have little meaning to me
in the later parts of the above paragraph. If you would care to explain
"dock" that would be a good beginning. "Subperceive" and "areas" would
also help alot.
As for cultivating your ignorance, enjoy it. I find no joy in
ignorance. I think that few who post here would agree that they find
bliss in ignorance.

Fine. As already discussed, feel free to agree with him or not.
Einstein, however, was not an authority on moral philosophy. His
statements regarding moral philosophy do not have the same authority as
his statements about the photoelectric effect and relativity.

What constitues non-Western science to you? What are your "many
hundreds of senses"? What evidence do you have that science "ignores
everything"? You seem to be setting up a straw man to rail against.

Nor should we set up ignorance to be our god.

You seem intent to misunderstand me. Perhaps it is a language problem.
I said that it SEEMS to be the rambling of the undereducated. It could
be that the poster was unable to use words in a meaningful way. It
COULD be a learning disorder or borderline intellectual functioning, but
I don't think so. It could be that the person is simply trying to start
fights and conflicts, but I try to give people the benefit of the doubt
until proven otherwise. It could be that the origial poster feels
inferior and thinks that the only way she can feel better is to expose
others to ridicule, but I don't know if that is the case.
The most charitable conclusion I could make was that the original poster
did not know how to make her case without resorting to sloppy,
meaningless language. It also implies that with proper education and
training, she might be able to express her point in a way that we can
both see it and engage in a meaningful conversation.
There is nothing stunning in the ability to see a poorly stated
argument.

This statement seems designed only to start arguments. I doubt that the
German educators are likely to hold up your posts as symbols of their
great acheivements in education.
