Beautiful articulation and her voice is endearingly persuasive too. Great interview.

Lo que nos motiva a inventar ciertos artilugios tecnológicos, según me parece, va en línea de potenciar nuestros sentidos en términos de ciencia básica; a la vez, de ponernos en posición de dominio. El poder, desde un punto de vista político, está en cada hipótesis, siendo la posible interpretación semántica más adecuada al prefijo a la palabra hipótesis en general.

Thank you 💖💐 🕊️

interesting, thank you

Scientific historians should study how the establishment crushes both rational true innovators and irrational dissenters. The most profound discoveries have always faced tremendous pushback from the establishment.
-
Those who think eureka moments don't exist cannot ever have made a discovery.

10:57 guess you better figure out who marked the daemons/demons/diamonds? Some of this isn’t my imagination it was just stories I heard and I’m just trying to figure out what’s true - because some of you are bored psychopaths literally… I’m guessing it was a church, I don’t enjoy going so your guess is as good as mine!

"God does not change the rules He has chosen once." (Socrates).

All modern scientists are superstitious children in adult bodies who see monsters under the bed. Makes sense. 😅

Remember No jab No job. We must never forget WHO coerced and emotionally blackmailed the children to risk as shields, to temporarily and marginally "protect" adults. Thou shall not use pregnant women as Granny shields. Risking the young to "save" the old is rotten to the core.

That is the reason why the populus calls scientists and philosophers Geeks. Irrational people talking about everything being trivial. Obviously derived from Greek. There must have been early contacts in England. Perhaps because they had fled Greek democracy killing Socrates for his absurd ideas.

Anytime somebody uses ontology too often in a sentence I get worried. They are trying to place themselves in a higher knowledge category wherein science and scientist are folks in one of the many categories that make up the world. According to these type of folks there are many categories. Religious, Philosophical, Scientific, etc. All these are just various categories that have equal validity. I always worry that it might be nothing more than a special kind of salad they are making here. A word salad to be precise.

7:53. Daemon in Greek means spirit not an evil entity. Thse are not "imaginary concepts". They DO work!! Science has been the only thing that explains the national world. Not religion. The intellectual level of this discussion is pathethic.
