Please elaborate. Where did I write about anyone that they "secretly agree with me"?
Why do you feel I did this? Actually I wrote the opposite: that a lot of people dismiss the isis, for example, as just being crazy. This whole article is about them not being crazy.
If you have a good model about them, please describe it.
I never said they couldn't be.
However, I still struggle to understand you. Do you feel this article shouldn't have been written? Or do you disagree with what you believe to be my ideological views? I was never meant to state, defend or attack any ideology at all. Just to listen to interesting ideas and theories which maybe didn't occur to me before.
The problem is that you attempt to write an article about an ideological turing test without investing any effort into trying to understand the ideology in question by reading engaging with relevant sources.
You could have found those by reading previous discussion of ISIS on LW.
That like a fish not knowing that he swims in water. If you equate being driven by religion with not being rational you are stating an ideological position.
That's not my position. On the contrary, I believe that (non-radical) religion can be fully compatible with science and with being rational. It seems that somewhere we misunderstood each other.
