About Me
- Didymus
- Western society had one Age of Enlightenment, between 1680- 1790 or so. Our society now urgently needs a New Enlightenment, embracing and endorsing the following values; freedom of speech and expression, state secularism,strong democratic principles and personal libertarianism.Central to this is the renewal of public interest in science and evidence based medicine, together with a wider adoption of the scientific method . We should, as a society, vehemently reject censorship, totalitarianism, religion, specifically fundamentalism, superstition and quackery.
