There are two ways that the mind of man deals with its perceptual input.

 

The Logos deals with a scientific approach in which the mind's efforts

are channeled into discovering the nature of reality by logical

deduction of observable-repeatable data that is subject to peer review

and criticism.

 

The logos is populated with speculations.....theories.....and educated

guesses.

 

It has given us modern medicine.........the airplane......and reading

glasses.

 

The Mythos is an intuitive structure based on fearful speculations

concerning all things unknown.

It evolves and is reinforced based only on its power to assuage the

innate fear of death.

 

The Mythos is populated by angels......demons.......and gods.

 

It has given us.......................

............hummmmmmmmm...........

 

......well..............other than a false sense of security.........I

can't think of anything.

 

 

 

 

 

Most of mankind prefer the Mythos.

 

That way.....they don't have to think too much.

this is a case of guilt-free laziness.

 

thinking can't get anything done or get anyone anywhere either.

 

it's just a myth that thought accomplishes or means anything.

 

matter of fact..

 

thinking that thought is meaningful..

 

or that thought can take you someplace...

 

just gives thought it's daily bread.

 

it'll spin on and on with that nourisment

 

it'll never however " make " the bread ...nor enjoy eating it.

 

sluuuuuuuuuuuuuuurp!

 

....burp.

 

s'cuse me.

 

..b b.b.
