Replying to a comment on:

Reasonably Good (Free verse) by Dovina

Before my birth myself flourished and will again past my pseudo death Beauty and Good demand it so for they are bastions strong as reason Easy to honor the dove hard to extol the rat Easy to admire DNA and hate uranium 238 Beautiful and Good Ugly and Bad I believe I know the difference For I live not alone by reason but by knowledge of Beauty and Good Thus I surpass the waypoints— birth and death with God who creates Beauty and Good demand it

I did not say that an open mind is better at receiving truth than one that uses a model to understand the world. I said that truth is something which can be picked up by an open mind and deflected by a closed one. If you wish to argue with me please argue with me and not with some straw falsity of what I say. I also did not say that having a model of the world is closed minded. I said that the important thing here is to be receptive to truth, even if comes through an unlikely source. Models are useful and not closed minded. What you are really doing here is avoiding the second paragraph in my comment because it defeats your original statement.
