And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"

See how easy it is to point to "ancient wisdom" and use it as an excuse to wall yourself in and away from thinking?

What are your issues with the study of the mind?

What the **** are you waffling on about now?

First the emboldened:

What is your issue with me should be the question because you keep leaping in all confrontational but then shy away without answering once I take you on?

And look at that sig of yours where you have quoted me out of context - what is THAT all about?

You asked me a ludicrous question in a post: "Have you met any humans, Kirk?" and I answered you in the same fashion, yet for some idiotic reason known only to yourself, you chose to use my response in your sig.

Anyway, back to this from you:

What the hell do those quotes from the Gospels have to do with anything?
And as for:

"See how easy it is to point to "ancient wisdom" and use it as an excuse to wall yourself in and away from thinking?

You are a joker my old son. Where in my post does the use of a quote which is relevant to underscoring what I am saying in that post, justify you interpreting that I am 'walling myself in away from thinking'?

No one who knows me in 'real life' would accuse me of not being a 'thinker' and I am confident that - love me or hate me - no other member on here would accuse me of not being a thinker either.

To be honest, your post is just meaningless waffle based on your own misinterpretation and it really says NOTHING and adds NOTHING to this debate.

I have no problem with 'the study of the mind', but I do not believe that all conclusions hailing from such studies are infallible fact, and - as in all professions - there are good and bad 'experts' and quite a few appalling ones.
