Worldview

Posted by PJ under death, pov, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“It seems that both religious and irreligious people see death and threats to their worldviews as of a piece: in other words, he who threatens my life and he who threatens my way of looking at the world are, on a psychological level, related. That is a dangerous way of thinking, but it seems we’re built for it—machines constructed to fight.”

—Steve Volk, Fringe-ology
