Good night ✌️🧡

Science is a process of pattern recognition and model building, i.e. learning. But to truly learn the patterns of every possible edge case of a thing takes generations, and the combined knowledge gained becomes tradition.

The doublespeak term "Science" really means "Truth by Fiat" and aims to destroy tradition, in my opinion, and replace it with extortion.

The problem being that over generations, memories get garbled, traditions become either based on what is no longer assumed to be true, or altered to suit those in power. This happens in the short term as well, as we quickly develop habits and then continue as we've "always done it this way", or adapt to fit a new directive, without much consideration as to why our habit or pattern began.

Humans are good at patterns, but horrible at time. This is possibly because our perception of time is at odds with how "reality" actually works, but that's a far more expansive topic.

I think that's why it's so important for people to maintain freedom of thought so that when traditions go sideways, we can course correct. Not using fiat money helps too because then you don't get the broken incentives that break society.

And I believe strongly in meeting people where they at, without relying on my own beliefs regarding what they should be, or how they could be different. My assumptions will never explain their existence, so far easier and more freeing to accept existence without presumption.
