Why not, you can appreciate the cereal and the milk from the cows bosom. That seems about as natural as it gets. There's a connection there I think. Trouble is I buy it from sainsburys and I don't know what they get up to in their spare time.

industrial development is part of ecology, just really primitive and driven by cultural absurdities.

In science, popularizers are forced to use metaphors & looser terms. Just try and read a technical science paper ! Or one that requires advanced mathematics. IMO

.../quote]

Writing people like Nietszche or any of the ancient greek philosophers down as popularisers might be correct, but these are still figures leagues ahead of most people writing philosophy. Some just like the poetic format, they want to convey something in a way that your soul understands before your intellect I would say.  ...




But that's not what I said! I made a comment about guys like Carl Zimmer (science popularizers), not  philosophers, scientists or mathematicians.

And in this post:

My suggestion was that, the choice anyone makes, (who is sane, rational, and serious) in their choice as to how precise to be depends on context, and not on some absolute fixed authoritative answer.
That's really all I suggested, that we have some freedom of expression--we don't have to bow down to some dogma in this regard--but on the other hand context does seem to limit us as to what may be appropriate.
