i suppose the last post was a bit too combatative in form to attract the wider scientific community whom i most certainly thought would by now have answered the relatively innocent query into communal dispositions if you will
in a recent life event i was able to experience first hand how the scientific mind might be valuable for community living...in a recent bout with skin encrustation a horrific combination of dry red nervous treacherous skin rash afflicted i was with discomfort and pain and stress
through a manner of "knowledge deduction" a process of rather quick but patient observations of the characteristics of my dis-ease for most certainly i was truly dis- eased i was relieved unwillingly of my desire for contentment ah well such is physical mayhem
any how
this intellectual mind went through a process of tipping the scale to one or two characteristics eliminating these in order to address the skin...he cured me
i took his "scientific " advice
and i took it seriously
i went to a tanning booth i drank cocanut milk smoothies i took some benedryl i finally got some sleep my nerves settled down i stopped swimming in a chlorinated pool
in short i submitted my very life to well reasoned medical opinion and i benefitted greatly
so just by way of dialectical detante
i want it known far and wide that i have accepted and seen the value
in some form of medical science
and thus i enjoy the necessary communal attitude that attitude that makes community so
much better let me tell you
gratitude the attitude of gratitude can be brought forth happily from the generous bestowal of medical science
i also receive accupuncture from the same guy
he's a wizard
first class
and i guess i must admit however grudgingly that i am sitting at a computer console spelling out inane thoughts to the whole of the cyber world and nobody listens....i mean that is some science too can't forget that
so bring along the scientists
let one sit in the garden
let another make the food
let another dispense good medicine
let another fix the cars
let another paint the house
let another chop some wood
let another clean the floor
let another light the incense
let another make the incense
hey there's another use
a scientist may be able to make incense
invaluable possibility
where will we put the microscope
that's the only question
wind energy
now there's a good project for a scientist
artists are probably more problematic for community life
they're so needy and reactive and expressive
maybe we need to encourage the artists to just be a bit more didactic
and systematic and diligent
and this too will benefit the art work
anyway
worthless servants
that's all we are
i'm glad to hear
ReplyDeletethat you've found some healing
for your skin
hey i'm trying to reach out here and be intellectually ecumenical
ReplyDeletei'm saying the scientists are in
of course there needed to be extreme scrutiny
there always is
but the bigger issue is that i've come to acceptable terms with all this i'm no longer on inimical warrior terms with the world of science
i am however reserving coyote temperaments to predominate
oooooowwwwwww
wooowoo
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eiirrh
ow ow ow ow owwwwwwwwwwwww
hehhhhehhhhheeeeeeeeeeeee
jdh
yes i did notice this turn
ReplyDeletewith some degree of amazement
and appreciation !
i do also take seriously
what you have said
about scientists perhaps
not always being willing to think
about the ethics of what they are doing
