Every day, I become more thoroughly anti-science.
- Richard M. Weaver, Humanism in an Age of Science
We are all familiar with the assertion that we live in an age of science. So many times have we heard it that probably few of us pause to give the state- ment reflective content. When we do attempt to say more, particularly what the “science” is that dominates our world, we find ourselves looking at a program of inquiry, and at the solid or tangible results of that program. About the inquiry itself I shall say what may seem a dreadful thing, but I propose to ofter my grounds. It seems to me that this inquiry reflects a habit of mind which must disquiet us. The habit appears to rest on a supposition that if you can do a thing, you must do it. And I can characterize that only as an infantile mentality. It is like the stage of boyhood one passes through during which one feels that if he can chin himself twenty times, he must do it; that if he can throw a rock across a certain stream, he must-do it. The criterion then is not whether you should do a thing, but whether you can do it. I am afraid that much of the vast scientific activity which goes on about us is predicated on nothing profounder than that.

American dollars in a digital bank account count as crypto
Anglish is aesthetically unappealing and, ergo, banned from chat. Every message you send must contain at least one component borrowed from another language.
Someone put up a sign that read "Democrats are climate heroes" and within a couple days someone else destroyed it. It's a tragedy that people care enough about American politics to do either of these things
