Pluto being reclassified
    #14555968 - 06/03/11 02:48 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

A few years back when Pluto was reclassified from a planet to a dwarf planet, many of the members of the International Union of Astronomers received scalding hate mail.

With all of my great intellect and keen insight into human psychology and idiosyncracies, this silly anger escapes my ability to puzzle it out.

'Splain it to me in words a third grader could understand.

I don't understand it myself.  The local talk radio station around my parts had plenty of people bitching about it as well.  I'm not sure why, they simply stated their disagreement, though provided no reasons for such, and bitched awhile.

I would guess the objection results from perhaps some dissonance between being forced to memorize things like that in school only to later have it acknowledged that the list is largely arbitrary and not particularly of any importance.  Perhaps this in turn calls into question most of their schooling with its focus on memorizing facts and a diploma that could be replaced in large by a few sheets of paper with said lists recorded on them.

I would say a lot of people just struggle with changes that they once thought were constant... Even though in my opinion nothing is ever constant.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us all. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
