I'm undoubtably the most progressive member of the board.
Why do you say that?
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

The Brain

What has science done for us?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Because my way is the way forward.  I am the way of the future.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Well, you'd have a hard time working in nuclear power if not for atomic theory.

Pornography at our fingertips. Limitless, unadulterated pornography.

Moreover, I discussed my opinions above, and they are all universal and correct.

Ok, but what about something good?

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

There are many futures, but only one way forward. How will this end? What happens when progressivism reaches its the limits, the point which we cannot go further?

As with all ideas, it eventually turns inward upon itself and is destroyed.

You're supposed to say it ends in fire, but that is also an acceptable answer.

I think you're mixing the vocal Reagan-style Christian movement with the low-key Nixon-style conservatives.  Conservatism has a long, proud history of technocracy.

Which is why I keep saying "modern" conservatives, there doesn't seem to me much of the old guard left. :(

Quite honestly when I go to meetings of the Conservative Party of Canada, I meet maybe a handful of biblical literalists - the overwhelming majority are big science supporters...

Apologies, I meant "modern American conservatives," there's less of an anti-intellectual bent to conservativism in other countries as I understand it.

Democracy as a whole tends to be anti-intellectual.
