Discovery Is Always Rape Of The Natural

Welcome...to Jurassic Park!

A Wonderful Area For Speculative Academic Work Is The Unknowable. These Days Religious Subjects Are In Disfavor, But There Are Still Plenty Of Good Topics. The Nature Of Consciousness, The Workings Of The Brain, The Origin Of Aggression, The Origin Of Language, The Origin Of Life On Earth, Seti And Life On Other Worlds...this Is All Great Stuff. Wonderful Stuff. You Can Argue It Interminably. But It Can't Be Contradicted, Because Nobody Knows The Answer To Any Of These Topics.

You Know What's Wrong With Scientific Power? It's A Form Of Inherited Wealth. And You Know What Assholes Congenitally Rich People Are.

Discovery, They Believe, Is Inevitable. So They Just Try To Do It First. That's The Game In Science.

Scientific Power Is Like Inherited Wealth; Attained Without Discipline. You Read About What Others Have Done, And You Take The Next Step. You Can Do It Very Young. You Can Make Progress Very Fast.
