The "bright" memeDaniel C. Dennett in the New York Times on what a "bright" is: What is a bright? A bright is a person with a naturalist as opposed to a supernaturalist world view. We brights don't believe in ghosts or elves or the Easter Bunny — or God. We disagree about many things, and hold a variety of views about morality, politics and the meaning of life, but we share a disbelief in black magic — and life after death.Many liberal commenters on Kevin Drum's blog don't like it. Best quote: Yes, bright make you sound like a moron. |
