Are Myths Valuable?

[Alan V]

I’d say that how our brains perceive reality/the world and how our brains perceive truth, are one and the same.

Now the question could be how much of brains perceptions of reality, is a product of how our brains have developed over billions of years, vs over the course 20-30 years of individual histories. You might think the bulk of our perceptions are shaped by our short individual histories, but that seems highly unlikely, its false myth often peddled by atheists.

The differences in our beliefs may be accounted for by our unique histories, but how our brains derived such beliefs, are unlikely to be all that different.

Repeated assertions without any new information to support them. Mere biological determinism.

The idea of that we possess some sort of free floating reason, rational capacity, unbound by our feelings, emotions, biological inclinations, etc.. is another one of those commonly peddled false myths. The alternative to such a view might be cynical, but it’s far more likely to be the case than the ghost in the machine.

False dichotomy. And I suspect you are judging others by yourself. Do you read much?
