I Believe That We Are A Story-driven Species And That We Understand How Things Are Put Together, In The Context Of Narrative. It's A Shame That Science Hasn't Been Taught That Way, In A Long Time. It's Usually The Fact Completely Devoid Of Any Human Experience Or Any Idea Of How The Scientist Came To That Conclusion.
