Or are you implying that anyone that shares this same worldview does not think and simply parrots what other people say?
My point is simply that he would never change the way he views the world, even if the evidence points the other way. In this world you have to be flexible. My background is in Science; I guess thats why I cannot understand people like him. If you have a notion that there is a clear reason some phenomena happens the way it does, and the evidence shows quite clearly that your reasoning is flawed, you CHANGE your views. BB searches for evidence that backs his reasoning. Thats backwards. I believe one has to look at everything and come up with generalizations for such incrediby tough topics that we have attempted to take on.
