Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

Just watched last year's #Eden #movie.
It was a fascinating story of relationship dynamics of several "families" on an isolated island. Based on the accounts of real events, to boot. It was expected that there would be some fight for resources, but I was surprised by masterful directing which made the story compelling despite the lack of the real "good guys" to root for.

The Galapagos Bullhead Shark is nocturnal and rarely seen — it spends its days tucked into crevices and comes out at night to hunt crustaceans on the reef floor.

Hammerhead Silhouette, Galápagos
In the Galápagos Islands, hammerhead sharks are often encountered by divers in significant numbers due to the nutrient-rich waters. A single scalloped hammerhead was observed moving effortlessly through a school of fish, illustrating the species' critical conservation status while also highlighting the strength of ocean currents in this unique ecosystem.https://scubahanknyc.com/2026/08/09/hammerhead-silhouette-galapagos/

Given a choice between a complex, difficult-to-understand, disconcerting explanation and a simplistic, comforting one, many prefer simplistic comfort if it's remotely plausible, especially if it involves blaming someone else for their problems.

I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong.... I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose.

Knowledge gained through experience of plants and animals is not an inferior substitute for proper scientific knowledge; it is the real thing. Direct experience is the only way to build up an understanding that is not only intellectual but intuitive and practical, involving the senses and the heart as well as the rational mind. Scientific investigations can illuminate and enrich this direct practical knowledge, but they are no substitute for it; indeed, they depend on it themselves.

Reason is a biological product -- a tool whose power is inherently and substantially restricted. It has improved how we do things; it has not changed why we do things. The more fundamental "why" element is driven by instinctive self-preservation, emotional needs, and cultural attitudes. We are usually reluctant to admit the extent to which these forces govern our behavior, and accordingly we often recruit reason to explain and justify our actions.

The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication... the first phase is characterized by the question "How can we eat?" the second by the question "Why do we eat?" and the third by the question "Where shall we have lunch?"

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'

Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention... Better give your path to a dog than be bitten by him in contesting for the right. Even killing the dog would not cure his bite.

My theory is that as the world improves, expectations rise even faster, leading to the persistent illusion that the world was better in the past. The only time the illusion is punctured is when a society is successfully digging out of a very big slump.
