Virtue of rationality. Its very important to understand that these stories come from a pre-history of our species. Its weird how we carve off our lives and say Well I want 21st century technology, I want 21st century medicine, I want 21st century science; but then for my epistemology, my psychology, my ethics, Im going to go back to the 6th century BC. Youd never imagine if someone came up to you with a bucket of leeches saying Hey lets deal with that heartburn of yours, youd run screaming. We sort of spiral back down through this hole of time to the most important elements of our thinking. Science is an outgrowth of philosophy, of a correct metaphysics and epistemology, yet we spiral backdown to this incredibly primitive, anti-rational state for the most important building blocks of our society. In the future theyll look back and wont know how we managed to put one foot in front of another as a culture sometimes because were so split in this way. - Stefan Molyneux on religion.
