Yes. Let's love each other rationally from now on and together develop
the science of happiness to highest levels :-)

Science is just a tool that can be used both for good and bad, and I
don't think logic and reason have such a minor role nowadays as a
justification for atrocities. 

It seems that for many people science has taken the place that used to
belong to religions: it gives a meaning for their lives and promises a
wonderful future; it's an all powerful and sinless saviour. Just if the
rest of the people would give up their sins of irrational thoughts and
spirituality...
