Dangerous Mine's
June 14, 2006

Beliefnet has an interesting thread going on about what your personal dangerous idea happens to be. It's uses The Edge's definition of dangerous idea as being:

[a]n idea you think about (not necessarily one you originated) that is dangerous not because it is assumed to be false, but because it might be true?

I rummaged around in the box of horrors in the back of my mind and posted:

That science and superstition cannot, for long, peaceably coexist.

That eventually superstition, under the guise of religion, orthodoxy, absolutist political partisanship or some mixture therein, will plunge the world into sectarian feuds that it simply can't recover from, causing the eventual extinction of our species.

It was either that or Cthulhu was spying on me thru the angles of my condo, biding his time until he eats me.

I feel safer under the first idea..
