Helpful Resource for Freethinkers, Rationalists, Scientists, Skeptics, Philosophers-Academics and all Deep-thinkers.. Reducing the Rationality-Gap and Science_Inequality & Divide.

What’s Differences between Good_Men Vs Godmen & GodlyMen? (Men as in Humen included Women & Shemen or HeLadies.. too)

While “Goodmen” make self & others better (Progressive & Inclusive =We All), the GodMen make few in inner-circle as their Butter-men or others as Bitter-Men (Regressive & Divisive =We Vs Them), the GodlyMen not only make themselves Ideal, (not Idolls) but also others with them and more importantly Positively impact the HumanoSocial_systems perpetually.

Eg. Fake GodMen_Group:  Asaram baba, RamRahim Insan, Indian tantric-Babas, ISIS, Z Naik, Osama-Khomeini, Nityananda, Jim morrison, Moonies Cult..etc

Goodmen_group: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, CV Raman, Basavana, Dewey, Ambedkar…

Real GodlyMen_Group: Buddha(Theravada), Jesus(Nazarenism), BodhiDharma(Shaolin), AllamaPrabhu (Shramana-Siddha), Swami Vivekananda(RK Mission), Bahai Adinatha(Jain 1.0), Prabhupada (ISKCON 1.0), Heartfulness Meditation Practitioners.

Maxim: Higher excess Emotionality lowers Rationality(PFC Phenomenon of Hypofrontality) & and controlled emotionality regulates Rationality.

Recent update ESPians and Bangalore Athiests met at Renaiessence22 @East Bengaluru Seminar for  Science, Freethought Youtubers and resources.

ESPians4 less Phobias & More HomeoStasis:

ESP(Empathic-Skeptical Peers Group). This place is for the Rational, Scientific Irreligious, Non-religious and free thinkers and movers.

Personal acknowledgement 3 IIxians Atheist (Dr.S) & Ex-Religious (Er.K of IIX) and Rationalists linked to (H.Narasimaiah of National College and Bengaluru Science Forum).

It’s an Optional Anonymous-Open group your personal identity is not relevant to group to facilitate free-speech & anonymous open-science sharings, so it can aid Scientific-Inquiries into topics and less about ego and biases. #Group Based Debiasing

What matters here are:
1. GrpMembers freethinking, Ideas+beliefs in an evidence-based Scientific manner with empathy and compassion to all views and perspectives. The drive is the Deep Questioning & Answer-Seeking in us..

2.  Supporting individual rights to religious freedom & speech.(4IdealogicalMinorities, Ex-religious & apostates.

3. For Bias Perceivers, Religious Abuse Aware & Manipulation Deprogrammers for freedom of minds from any Dogma.

Motto: “Nod is Great“. Or Nods are Great… (Nod of these trifecta thoughts Nod-1. (Up2Down vertical Head Oscillation) “Yes accept idea is true, I get the idea rationally!” Or Nod-2.(Left2Right Horizontal Head Oscillations) “No I reject its false, idea is unsound logically & harmful ethically.” 3. also Indian side to side diagonal-nod of “Maybe(unknown), idea could be true or false, anyone or both are possible deductionally.”

“IN-word Definition” of “NOD of head” is “eNactment Of Decision” through head movements. Natural-Nodal Output of Decisions.

Nod-alogy study of Head Nodding Gestures.

We propose to fight bias, irrationality, fallacies and superstitions with basis, frameworks and super-skepticism. We connect with Skeptics and Scientists as fraternity for positively impacting National_Intellectuality. #Secularity&Rationality for global_prosperity.

Project_Aim: For Improving our Collective Scientific Common Sense, Scientific-Thinking & Secular_Humanism.

Why this project Matters is because 1. it aims for members to practice rationality and reduce the vulnerability to superstitious beliefs, Religious or cultic Abuse. And 2. Build a sense of belonging/purpose and peer-networking towards the Secular-Scientific & Skeptic Communities in India. Who champion the common goal of a Scientific & Secular India.

More importantly Peer-CommUnity is real Strength for Social Support & Transformation.

Superstitions, fake philosophers, Numerology, Astrology have lot of pseudoscience & Anti-science practices, So need this group to invite all for Secular/Scientific-Thinking and being Pro-Science.

ESP diffrentiates 3 Distinct-Skepticisms:

1.Rational-Skepticism: being skeptical using rationalism and logic to refute and establish a lil deeper understanding of the events sharing proofs and evidence. Leads to Deep-Scientific Thinking & good Content. Focus is Reasonable Principles and improvement.

2.Rhetorical-Skepticism. Being skeptical using rhetoric(lesser logic) to refute the claims without providing deeper logic nor references behind events and conclusion. May divert to superficial emotional triggering and contest. Focus here is blind targetting of out-group People or their Ideas. (Ad Hominem and Call for Authority). Blind-Skepticism vs Aware-Skepticism.

3. Practical_Empathic Skepticism: Learn, Share, Discuss, Teach & profess Techniques of Logical Reasoning, Critical Thinking, DeBiasing, Deprogramming, Logical-Fallacy Spotting. Etc

Focus in this is understanding “Principle+People“=Progress.
