Basic Points of my Thinking

 * SPOV: Whenever a subject is being discussed or thought about, it's USUALLY preferrable to have a scientific point of view. This mostly helps to avoid becoming a fundementalist crank.
 * Common Sense can usually get you in the ballpark of accuracy, and science can get you all the way there. This just means that using common sense is useful, but the scientific method is most often the best way to be accurate.
 * Value Human Rights and Liberties before all else.
 * Don't be a dick.
