Dalai Lama tells his Facebook friends that religion "is no longer adequate"
The problem with secular philosophy is that it is predominantly gnostic by nature. This is as opposed to moral principles that individuals can independently derive from observing the universe.

Nonsense
An unscrupulous charlatan or a deluded fool who preys on the vulnerable. The imaginary super power of twats. Paranoia, frequently anti-Semitic or anti-establishment and always misunderstood by the blinded sheeple.Cognitive bias
A cognitive bias is a pattern of deviation in judgment. Whereby, inferences of other people and situations may be drawn in an illogical fashion [ 1 ] . Individuals create their own “subjective social reality” from their perception of the input [ 2 ] (p.2).

Gibson's law
In public relations , [ 1 ] and in the practice of law , Gibson's law holds that "For every PhD there is an equal and opposite PhD." [ 2 ] The term specifically refers to the conflict between testimony of expert witnesses called by opposing parties in a trial under an adversarial system of justice . [ 3 ] It is also applied to conflicting scientific opinion injected into policy decisions by interested parties creating a controversy to promote their interests. [ 4 ] [ edit ] See also Clarke's three laws , including Clarke's fourth law: "For every expert there is an equal and opposite expert." [ edit ] References ^ Proctor, Robert .N. (2004).
