Catholic and Enjoying It!
has a nifty post up about how our post-textual society is losing its grip on reason and becoming more and more dependent on the juxtaposition of images instead of rational argument. It all ties in, oddly enough with things like rebooted Sherlock Holmes and Star Trek movies. Read it. The guy is on to something.
Oh, and can we finally put to death the Endarkenment lie that the Middle Ages were the Age of Faith Without Reason? If any age really has a lead pipe cinch on being called the Age of Unreason, it is ours. And nowhere moreso than in our superstitious habit of believing that any magical rubbish is rendered “rational” if you cloak it in pseudo-scientific verbiage.
