First time I've heard this.
These days I agree with Bertrand Russell. As a young teen I certainly did not. My young teen years involved having the made up knowledge of the many believers who still argue about dogma to this very day. I finally grew up later in life just when the fearful think I should beg for mercy from a waring tribal god. Nevermore, saith me.
I was pleasantly surprised he was so open, honest and imformed for the time he lived in.
So do you not think that the ego of Russell was such that, although very clever and able to construct sentences with a highly rhetorical emphases, he deliberately condemned anyone that didn’t agree with him? I refer specifically to his scathing attack on Nobel winner Henri Bergson.
