“Effectively, you have promoted a set of heuristic methods to the position of gods. You may not realize this, but this is far more catastrophic than believing in gods that do not really exist — which can turn out to be beneficial in a variety of unexpected ways. But the problem here is of apocalyptic proportions. The aspects of your cognition you are promoting are unthinkably unsuited for this task. They are suited for specialized contexts that benefit from their peculiar myopia or focus. Outside those contexts, they become toxic, and begin attacking their own foundations, and in this case, that is your minds and world.”
