Sums it up: I coined the term irrational rationalism because those people claim to be rationalists, but theyre governed by such a heavy body of taboos. Theyre so fearful, and so hostile, and so narrow, and frightened, and uptight and dogmatic… I wrote this book because I got tired satirizing fundamentalist Christianity… I decided to satirize fundamentalist materialism for a change, because the two are equally comical… The materialist fundamentalists are funnier than the Christian fundamentalists, because they think theyre rational! …Theyre never skeptical about anything except the things they have a prejudice against. None of them ever says anything skeptical about the AMA, or about anything in establishment science or any entrenched dogma. Theyre only skeptical about new ideas that frighten them. Theyre actually dogmatically committed to what they were taught when they were in college…
