Belief is the antithesis of morality

Though this is likely an old chestnut, I have dwelt on it long enough to bother putting it into text.

Morality cannot be forced, it must come from questioning and understanding motivation, personal bias, utility, normative claims, whatever.

The important factor is that to get it, you must question and challenge the perceptive set of your own design.

Belief is what happens when ingenuity and inductive logic fail to create valid scenarios for input data. The fragile western mindset balks at a contradiction.

The end result is belief; aborted knowledge borne of a mind incapable of grasping the true nature of things.



It is a greater fool than I that regards a contradiction as 'zen'.
