Yes! if you guys have taught me anything it is the reality of the statement that "truth is revealed in the proving of contraries. I have a little scale in my house to remind me and my kuds that life is a balancing act in many cases. I love the titles of Jane Austens books for this reason. I see in this also three arches Like the ancient tabernacle in three parts. And the one they are standing Under as a marriage of sorts so that between them is an "and" instead of a vs.❤️🙏

Sorry I’m late in posting.

This reminds me how the left constantly debate nurture v nature. As a mother and grandmother I can guarantee it’s both.

I was paying more attention to the kid from the Use Your Illusion cover.

Yet again, you make me weep with joy at your gloriously accessible expression of truth, cognition and friendship.

I think my fascination with science is really a fascination with engineering.

I’m less excited now by a theory of everything than I am with advancing technology to live more in harmony with one another.

And regarding engineering, science is as much untruth as it is truth; you are constantly told “that’s not possible”.

And yet we have automobiles, motion pictures, refrigerators, cell phones and the lot.

And, regardless of misuse, they all deepen the spiritual connection between people.

And so, if we want to allow for new ways of family life, we might look to find high-temperature superconductors, which necessitates meditating on the Pauli exclusion principle and integer-spin virtual particles.

Luckily I’m married to an engineer/physicist. He explained your last paragraph. Not sure how it relates to Spencer’s letter.

It's common to think that scientists, in their hunger for the physical world, will ignore (or even reject) the spiritual underpinnings of matter. But perhaps by the spirit we can engineer the physical world to be more conducive to to life.
