Here I thought the science was settled, the debate was over, nothing more to see, all that is knowable is now known about plate tectonics.
The fact is, we really don’t know jack about anything, and are only scratching the surface and that is how it will always be. The arrogance of so many scientists is mind boggling, with Richard Dawkins being the poster boy for that arrogance. I would include al gore too but he is no scientist, never has been, and never will be.
I think you could extend that comment to most of our species. We live on the wrinkled and dynamic surface of a piece of water and rock that's hurtling through an unknown void at unimaginable speed. At any moment the ground we walk and build on can burp molten rock or shimmy with Richter force, destroying us and all our creations. We don't even know where we are yet we endlessly propose universal "solutions" for all things.
The Greeks called it hubris.
