Daniel Drosnin: Zen and the Art of Debunking: Updated version (2010)

Daniel Drosnin has updated his much read article on pseudo-skepticism entitled "Zen and the Art of Debunking", which is a funny and clever way to explain the common tricks used by pseudo-skeptics and materialistic ideologues to dismiss, reject, misinterpret and undervalue the evidence and data which refutes the metaphysical naturalistic worldview and the scientific orthodoxy (due to their faulty cognitive functioning, intellectual cowardice, spiritual impairment, herd-like mindset and typical dogmatism, naturalistic-materialistic ideologues and pseudo-skeptics manifest an obvious intellectual submission and an extreme credulity to the authority of the scientific orthodoxy, a trait which prevents them to think for themselves, and put them permanently and predictably at the feet of the scientific authorities. As consequence, these ideologues also will attack, ridiculize and try to suppress ideas which are not, as such, contrary to the metaphysical naturalistic ideology, provided they're widely rejected or still unaccepted by the mainstream science. Read this article by Marcello Truzzi, for a brief explanation of this ideological mindset)

Drasnin's article can be read here.

Enjoy.
