Unjustified worship of the human mind

Dr. Gregory Zilboorg pointed out that a society which is too absorbed in scientism can develop severe narcissism and an unjustified worship of the human mind. Worshiping even the idol of the intellect inevitably will lead to the fall of that idol simply because our finite reason and experience are not adequate to help us function in an infinite universe.

The religion of nonconformity is dogmatic and intolerant; it venerates freedom but does not emulate the purposeful lifestyle which is a precondition to the maintenance of freedom.
