condemned2bfree Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 “The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.”― Neil deGrasse Tyson First, science has been overturned many times and will continue to be if true science prevails. Tyson could have worded that much better. Science is not a person, place or thing. Science is not a religion. Science is a method of understanding how something in the natural world works. On countless occasions, researchers' findings have been critiqued and ultimately disproven, which is a fundamental part of the scientific method. I would have said, "The good thing about the scientific method is that it works exactly as it should, whether you believe it or not."Christopher Hitchens wrote "That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence". I love the simplicity. One can simply be disregarded and the other - albeit fluid - needs to be accepted as the basis of argument and fact, even if it changes. The ability to add and develop is what helps science to be real and useful and true and religion damaging, nonsensical and anachronistic. I miss Christopher Hitchens a lot. Such a sad loss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

condemned2bfree Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 W H Aulden.As I walked out one evening, Walking down Bristol Street,The crowds upon the pavement Were fields of harvest wheat.And down by the brimming river I heard a lover singUnder an arch of the railway: 'Love has no ending.'I'll love you, dear, I'll love you Till China and Africa meet,And the river jumps over the mountain And the salmon sing in the street,'I'll love you till the ocean Is folded and hung up to dryAnd the seven stars go squawking Like geese about the sky.'The years shall run like rabbits, For in my arms I holdThe Flower of the Ages, And the first love of the world.'But all the clocks in the city Began to whirr and chime:'O let not Time deceive you, You cannot conquer Time.'In the burrows of the Nightmare Where Justice naked is,Time watches from the shadow And coughs when you would kiss.'In headaches and in worry Vaguely life leaks away,And Time will have his fancy To-morrow or to-day.'Into many a green valley Drifts the appalling snow;Time breaks the threaded dances And the diver's brilliant bow.'O plunge your hands in water, Plunge them in up to the wrist;Stare, stare in the basin And wonder what you've missed.'The glacier knocks in the cupboard, The desert sighs in the bed,And the crack in the tea-cup opens A lane to the land of the dead.'Where the beggars raffle the banknotes And the Giant is enchanting to Jack,And the Lily-white Boy is a Roarer, And Jill goes down on her back.'O look, look in the mirror, O look in your distress:Life remains a blessing Although you cannot bless.'O stand, stand at the window As the tears scald and start;You shall love your crooked neighbour With your crooked heart.'It was late, late in the evening, The lovers they were gone;The clocks had ceased their chiming, And the deep river ran on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) I saw this on Benmont Tench's Instagram feed. “Well that's very kind of you, but voices ought not be measured by how pretty they are. Instead they matter only if they convince you that they are telling the truth.” - Sam Cooke Ben knows first hand since he's worked with Petty and Dylan. Same goes for Tom Waits, Neil Young, Jello Biafra, Joe Strummer and Eddie Vedder. Edited October 17, 2020 by invisible airwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
condemned2bfree Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 "The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."
