    Well it amused me, anyway[^] Told you I'd be back, but I'll be doing it slowly - I have a backlog of several months worth of sleep to catch up on, and my concentration is a bit short as a result.

                                    You are assuming that there is no objective reality, and that therefore reality is whatever the Powers That Be claim that it is. You may recall that in George Orwell's Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Four, Winston Smith worked in the Ministry of Truth, whose only reason for existence was to "correct" data so that it appeared that the Party was always right.

                                        You are assuming that there is no objective reality, and that therefore reality is whatever the Powers That Be claim that it is. You may recall that in George Orwell's Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Four, Winston Smith worked in the Ministry of Truth, whose only reason for existence was to "correct" data so that it appeared that the Party was always right.

                                        Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows. -- 6079 Smith W.

                                        I am suggesting that a fair share of those who demand absolute religious freedom are demanding the freedom of irrationality. Two plus two make five is an explicit statement of irrationalism. Winston argued in favor of rational truth. So you can say he was strongly and expressively against any sort of irrational religious argumentation. ¨ By stating that freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two makes five, you tell that you are open to accept even irrational, religious claims. Maybe you personally do not subscribe to the idea that two plus two makes five, yet you support the right of religious people to hold their irrational beliefs - maybe not of the arithmetic kind, but in the same class of irrationality. Two plus two make five symbolizes the irrationality. If I state that I do respect your freedom to proclaim the irrationality of two plus two making five, it also says that I respect your freedom to make whatever irrational religious statement that you would like to make. (Obviously, I reserve the right to argue against the irrationalities, even though I grant you the right to declare them.)

                                        Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

                                          I remember reading some Foucault and he said that knowledge is essentially a function of power, in that he seemed to be arguing that even our "science" is subject to the whims of human activity. I tend to agree. We all have to employ some amount of trust because we cannot hope to build up even empirical knowledge from scratch. We don't have the time in one lifetime. And it's that trust that can get us in trouble, as much as we need it. Even with science, Max Plank rightly lamented that it advances one funeral at a time. There is power and inertia at play, even in the sciences, where consensus - even incomplete or incorrect consensus all too often carries the day. I think what tronderen was speaking to was absence of coercion - in this case, being free to be wrong - negative liberty. Imagine if being wrong carried a state enforced penalty!
