It is my firm conviction that man has nothing to gain, emotionally or otherwise, by adhering to a falsehood, regardless of how comfortable or sacred that falsehood may appear. Anyone who claims, on the one hand, that he is concerned with human welfare, and who demands, on the other hand, that man must suspend or renounce the use of his reason, is contradicting himself.

There can be no knowledge of what is good for man apart from knowledge of reality and human nature, and there is no manner in which this knowledge can be acquired except through reason. To advocate irrationality is to advocate that which is destructive to human life.

  1. Description of some of surreal details of picture in the context of pareidolia. In the middle there is a being with “evil” laugh that has his arm stretched towards right and in the end you can see human like fingers. It looks as if it touches a bird wihout wings. This being looks like some kind heavy mutant. It seems as its middle body is spider like kind of. it looks as if its face has prolonged mouth. it has legs which has claws at the its end. Its legs are like that of a lion. If one goes directly up from this being leg one will see a being whoose face is starring like if surprised into a clawed leg of this being. The bird without wings is sitting on a shoulder of red giant kind of “stupid” looking expression on its face being. At the lower right one can see a witch. It has a lizzard on its head. It looks as if witch is looking at “exploding” head in the middle lower portion of picture. If one goes right and below the witch face one can see a humanoid figure porjecting some kind of beam from its hand towards a red weird looking creature with horns. It surely looks as the classic fight between good and evil. There are much more things one can see in this photo.
