Science is just observing phenomena and testing predictions. Whatever bad comes out of that is not the fault of science.

Maybe humans would be happier if we were all squirrels. But we're not squirrels, were humans.

why there is reality and patterned, law-like consistency at all, rather than noise or non-reality is not a question physics answers. It's a question physics presupposes an answer to in order to provide other answers.

I think what red is getting at is simply: It is not the hammer that smashes that one guys head, it was the other guy using that tool carelessly or as a weapon.

It's not the tools fault or the science behind the tools construction.


The 'track record' or leopard spots if you will, might be better associated with the collateral damage resulting from scientific pursuits. Therefor we could subtract the use of a weapon from your example because the science in warfare contributes to considerable collateral damage on the environment . "Careless" might be appended to the Chernobyl disaster or in retrospect to any use of science that at a later date proves to have been unwise, so in this respect it is indeed the hammer that smashes.

It's not about absolutes, it's about power.

We all run around draped in absolutes.

This is dangerous because non of em are true.

Those who know become unencumbered by the illusion can easily manipulate the narrative and produce an endless power from it.

I'm pretty sure you just negated your own existence with those words, which is such a shame because I do enjoy your poems, but then again perhaps you personally need not exist for the poems to materialize.

If I were sure about myself or you about you.

I wouldnt have written the poems.

Nor would you have read them.

Power for it's own sake does fit. A power to mouth intricate poems is an admirable talent. As is the power to win arguments.

you may think you are drumming up power here, but you are just drumming a keyboard, and what you are typing makes as much sense as if it were typed by a scurry of squirrels.

this is the problem with alternate truths, let's just talk squirrels since there we might find truth in trees.

to hell with science, focus just on the nuts.
