Scott Adams — Science Proves Science is an Illusion

This is a pretty fair summary of the position of perennial wisdom, although PW is moe sophisticated. Scott Adams seems to have stumbled upon it. However, it doesn't seem to have realized yet that this implies that "consciousness"is primary rather than "matter," and that it's all done with "smoke and mirrors." The quotes mean that these terms are ambiguous in ordinary language and needs further specification to be meaningful. In a sense, that is what the history of world thought is about. "Philosophy" is too restrictive.

Anyway, Scott's post is a fun read. Make what you want of it.
