Could you rephrase that for my benefit? I really don't understand what you're trying to say at all

I think he means that if you have empirical evidence for something you don't need [to apply] reason to explain the same something. If my interpretation of his words is correct how would you arrive at the empirical evidence if you didn't apply reason?

Quote:Now you have the choice to abandon reason, or join the thinking. Which will it be?

The only way I can interpret this sentence is that he's giving me the choice between abandoning reason or joining the thinking which can only mean that in his opinion the thinking don't reason.
