RE: How to be an InformationWar Activist - Part Twelve: Information War, Binary Thinking , Utopian Thinking, Critical Thinking

OK, thanks for review and reSteem!

Still something bugging me about this. Oh well, when I redo it in 3 months, I might just catch it LOL

As infinity is to numbers, I treat Utopia as to ideologies

infinity = Utopia = perfection
might never get there, but there is no reason not to seek it on realistic grounds; agreed

I think I associate the term Utopian with unrealistic, tho

Interestingly enough there are members of Islam that see the political version of it as a problem as well. They are very against it.

I've got an old post on this I'll be redoing later; I think the problem here is that the non-Islamists don't use fatwas against the Islamists, while the Islamists do so against the non-Islamists; esp. on issues re: the nature of jihad and apostasy

IIRC, the fatwa that wasissued against ISIS by the London group was based on something other than Islamic grounds (might verify that later)

Without calling the Islamists out on the fundamental nature of what the religion is, the non-Islamists are going to be sucking hind tit in their PR

This stems from a lack of teaching critical thinking as far as I am concerned.

Hell, they teach obedience to dogma these days.

Good point on false dichotomy in relation to binary thinking; precsion in terminology is necessary
