"This sort of recession into abstraction gives a pleasant divertissement from the gritty necessity of having to function in the real world of direct experience. Which, as human beings, it is incumbent on us to do. At least insofar as we truly desire to understand our world."

Whose side are you on, Lady?

Good grief NicknamedBob, I really don't understand your question! Side??? Francis Bacon tells me not to take sides. At least he felt scientific progress was best advanced by a certain neutrality WRT contending arguments.

But I can take the science hat off if you'd rather discuss poetry. That would be most welcome!
