No, I do not assume that scientific method and logical thought are the
ONLY ways. You seem to have quoted more of what other people claim I
was saying than what I actually said. What I believe is that these are
among the list of valid tools and that they aren't politically correct
propaganda or dogma. I never claimed they were the only way.

I don't know how any Extropian could believe this, since Extropy is
itself a philosophy.
