    The other problem with Charlatan @SamHarrisOrg is that he talks about “rationality” without even remotely knowing what it means.

    Charlatan.

    RATIONALITY REQUIRES THE COMMONS

    (core concept)

    —“I think, on one hand, people cannot become rational without a quality commons (education, exposure to ideas, enriched environment etc.) On the other, it’s very difficult to create quality commons without rational people.”— Bill Joslin

    CLOSING THE PATHWAY FOR THEIR LIES

    —“Wherever there’s a pathway left to be explored, there is also an incentive/evolutionary pressure (same thing, really) to do so. Our goal is to close this particular pathway because it doesn’t benefit us and, for that matter, mankind as a whole.”—Martin Štěpán

    “Literacy: means ‘capable of reading and writing’.

    Being “Illiterate’ means incapable of reading and writing.

    Being “Literate” means ‘Well Read’ OR ‘he can read and write’.

    This is another one of those terms where we need a demarcation to prevent conflation.

    illiterate “can’t read” > literate – “can read” > “literate – well read”.
