The range of human knowledge today is so great that we're all specialists and the distance between specializations has become so great that anyone who seeks to wander freely between them almost has to forego closeness with the people around him.

Traditional scientific method has always been at the very best, 20 - 20 hindsight. It's good for seeing where you've been. It's good for testing the truth of what you think you know, but it can't tell you where you ought to go.

If you are following the dharma no matter what you do it is moral.

So round and round you go, spinning mental wheels and nowhere finding anyplace to get traction. What the hell...is it?

Even in the presence of others he was completely alone.

The real purpose of the scientific method is to make sure nature hasn’t misled you into thinking you know something you actually don’t know.
