Brights and Supers

The ‘Bright’ world view seems to me to be sensible and reasonable. It accords with my present mode of thinking and being. There are now many self confessed Brights and they include Daniel Dennett, Steven Pinker and Michael Shermer.

What is a bright?

  • A bright is a person who has a naturalistic worldview
  • A bright's worldview is free of supernatural and mystical elements
  • The ethics and actions of a bright are based on a naturalistic worldview
The Bright website (http://www.the-brights.net/ ) contains a lot of well digested material including power point presentations and videos.

What is a super?

  • A super is a person whose world view includes supernatural and mystical elements – myths and magic.
