This is not neo-evangelism

I used to reside in pseudo hatred for quite a while constantly updating my ego that one feels far superior when one has the ability to hate and criticize and be skeptical. The rush after carrying out a censural analysis and dissecting something(in the mind - most people prefer to do it publicly) was incomparable at times. Michael Schermer's Sceptical society has grown to such an extent, they have periodical sessions at caltech CRITICIZING(not necessarily useful criticizm) other people's scientific works. This can undoubtedly weed out pseudo intellectuals who pass in pompous ideas. The only problem with such an effort is one gets caught in the web and keeps conducting this(skepticism) time and again. I agree the world has so many problems that in the absence of critical thinking one cannot comprehend the magnitude of these problems. From what i have observed, these criticisms get redundant, resorting to excoriations back and forth often deviating from the problem at hand. PROACTION ceases. Recycling the mind with dated ideas and negative outbursts can be quite a hindrance in one's progress. One can question what do you mean by progress. I do not know the exact answer but i can partly say that it is achieving the mind state to embrace all, devoid of latent feelings and thoughts. This direction is going to be tough and the mind will no doubt experience the severest of contradictions, but i have faith that it's ok.

That's just my two cents.
