Yes but I'm not so attached to it that if I happen to leave it at home I feel lost.

Technolgy is great but it always took away things that need to be learned on the way.

Yes. The question was whether you had stopped living in your mommy’s basement.

The Ptolemaic system was believed in firmly for over 1500 years.
By scientists that were (99% likely) much smarter than anyone on this forum.

Doesn't mean that the Sun orbits the Earth though.
Science worship becomes a religion to many of the people who would like to preach that religion is evil.
I think humanity should tread carefully...

Which is why "settled science" is not how science works.

I went to my uncle’s funeral last month and stopped over at the family farm. My cousin was always a very quiet guy and I’d be surprised if he and I ever spoke more than 10 sentences to each other growing up.

But we got to reminiscing about the family and he offered to show me his woodworking shop. It’s something he got into right after high school and now teaches up in door county Wisconsin. Pretty fascinating stuff really.

I guess it ended up being highly therapeutic for him too because part of why he was so quiet was because he had a bad stutter. Once he started the woodworking, the stutter just kind of disappeared.

We navigated by the stars and which side of the tree the moss was growing on.

Let me illustrate. 25 years ago my dad had knee replacement surgery. He was in bed for a couple weeks. 15 years later he had the other knee replacement.

They had him walking the next day. I wouldn’t be surprised if 5 years from now it’s an outpatient procedure.

Maybe they haven’t cured the common cold, but medicine is fascinating.

Is his knee warming uncontrollably?

It’s ok. Science is hard,

It’s ok. Science is hard,

And there are multiple disciplines, not all of which are as advanced as the others.

Reality is hard. Simple minds like simple solutions.

What everyone should be looking at are grand solar minimums like the Maunder Minimum that occured from 1645 to 1715. These are often referred to as mini ice ages. Scientists have noticed a correlation between the lack of sunspot activity during these minimums and substantial changes in climate. During the Maunder Minimum there were widespread crop failures and famine. Right now our corn and soybeans are getting clobbered due to very different weather patterns this year. It's believed by some that we're in a Grand Minimum that may last until 2100. If so with the world's ever increasing population we may soon see shortages.
