Oh, dear. No, really, I'm just this guy, you know? A concerted materialist,
yes, objectivist? no; art, both its creation and its products, are too
important to me.

My statement was _anti-ideology_, and still is. Science is _not_ an
ideology. (Nor is biochemistry, so why did you include it?) You are
correct, any ideology inserted in my statement makes it false. When it
reads-
'In fact, it's about bloody time we realized that no ideology has the
answers to the meaning of life, the universe, and everything....'
it is, IMHO, true.
Your reference to Sarin is unknown to me.

No call to arms here.
But it is time we relegated the make-believe to one side of the room. Not
in any attempt to subjugate it, but in an attempt to dialog. There may be
distinct languages here.
I do indeed ask- In what way is any thought of a human being not fiction?
But rather than get hung up on that, we pick the fiction with high
relevance. IMHO, the make-believe of the religious is of low relevance.
That is all. Just this guy.
