PELOSI and an imagined reflections on her MORAL take on the WALL


Pelosi:  I  agree that science and scientific rationalism are fine methods to get at the structure of the objective world; but when we get to our subjective selves, like the WALL our values and attitudes, then science is ill-equipped to help, and can in fact hurt if it displaces spirituality as a moral resource. In its claims on the objective world, science is fine, but in the domain of the self, religion and spirituality are crucial. so that is why the WALL is IMMORAL.

Duh

Interviewer:  So Madam Speaker is  this is how the battle is perceived, are you not  using religion (moral) to treads on science’s domain

Pelosi:  I don't understand

Interviewer: You are making religious pronouncements  (morality) on the nature of reality (wall)
your 'moral' claim is built on a quasi-metaphysical distinction between the continent of Facts (WALL) on the one hand, which point directly to reality, and the continent of Values (MORAL) on the other, which point back to metapsychics  which is outside the remit of reason.

PELOSI:  What do you mean...I don't get that


Interviewer: By employing a  value-based domain (morality)  of authority, you are asserting that there is an overlapping moral magisteria...having or showing great authority.

PELOSI:  I don't know what the hell you are talking about.
