Rationalism is imperative in the pursuit of truth, whereas the pursuit of a harmonious global progress demands a human to be simply human first, not a scientist, a philosopher, a preacher, or a politician. Be a human, then everything else.

Humanism is naturalism.

Without the basic humane connection, even the expertise of a scientist turns worthless.

Without the human my friend, truth has no value whatsoever. So, do not be blinded by the false glory of truth, but be conscientious enough to utilize that truth in a humane fashion in the human society. Truth not brought to the service of humanity, is a truth of no value.

Mind you, my identity is of no greater value than the dust under your feet. If there is anything valuable that I can offer, it is my ideas.

There is an inexplicable sense of relief in being proven wrong, which perhaps can only be realized by either a scientist or a philosopher.
