Cognitive Simplicity

 

The world is not simply a war between God and Satan, morality and immorality, and love and hate. It is full of complexities, subtleties and subjectivities that we often don't take into account.

So what do you do when you realize that things are not as simple as they seem to be?  How do you make your decisions and pick out what's important amongst all the turmoils of diversity and complexity?

Because of how morality is subjective and relative from culture to culture and person to person in this liberal age, is it ever possible to have solid and firm set of values that aren't influenced by unquestioned and illogical dogmas?

I am not so sure of what you mean by this day and age to be a "liberal age". Some coin the 21st Century as an age of Religious fundamentalism, where people have started to enforce their own views on others and also with the use of Religious enterprises such as the ones going on in the U.S. the whole cognitive revelation of reasoning is being thrown out the window. There are some people that are retreating back to the simplistic ideas of heaven and hell, look at the example of chucking the theory of evolution out the window, that doesn't look very liberal to me.

Peace
