RATIONALIST REALITY THEATRE
Indian Rationalists have developed a novel way to immunize villagers against a very special disease that is rampant in India, highly communicable and extremely dangerous: superstition.
On 11th November 2011, Le Monde published an article about Sanal Edamaruku and the work of the Indian Rationalists, titled:The Indian who does not like the gurus. Read the full text (in French).
Premiere in Zurich
The event lived up to its name. In Zurich, the premiere of the Denkfest was put on stage this September. Under direction of the Swiss Freethinkers, it turned out to be a vibrant celebration of critical and scientific thinking on a high level. The idea was to bridge academic world and critical public. The aim was to find out what is to be accepted as confirmed knowledge in today’s world – a challenging question that brought in some clear and brilliant answers. The compact, multi-faceted program presented forty high profile speakers, the finest experts in their respective fields. On the agenda were cutting edge science, skeptical investigations and great innovative projects. And finally, a great panel discussion zooming in on rational thinking drew that “thin line between skepticism and denialism”. Taking part was nothing short of an intellectual adventure.
India would have been a better place without Sathya Sai Baba
When Sathya Sai Baba died this morning (24 April 2011) at the age of 85 years, he proved once again that miracles and predictions fail. He had predicted at a public gathering at his head quarters in Puttaparthy, in 2000, and repeatedly many times, that he would die at the age of 96 only. And till the last moment, many of his devotees clung to his word and waited for a miracle. May it be an eye opener for the millions of gullible people whom he misguided and deluded.
