We are actors, not observers. Our collective task in the betterment of Mankind, is to design projects which purport to solve specific problems in the community of Man: providing food, clothing, shelter, transportation, spiritual sustenance, effective governance and community service. The human receives the brain as a gift from millions of years of evolution. We learn to measure our world in order to develop tools and machines which allow us to accomplish tasks needed for human survival. Dr. Simon is spot on: we are participants in solutions to our survival, not observers. We must train our minds and hearts in the legacy of science and technology, building on the thoughts and accomplishments and contributions of those who come before us, those with talent and applied expertise to enlighten. We learn from our teachers, and we add to the conversation. And, without a doubt, we are active participants in the survival of our species. To be effective, we must train and learn and ponder our reality, much like Isaac Newton did during his 2 years in "lockdown" due to the Plague, and the closing of his school, Cambridge University. Newton added much to the conversation of physics, astronomy and mathematics, through reflection and trial and error: theorems to be tested. To wit: life is a lot of hard work. And we are inspired by sages like Dr. Simon to get into the laboratory of our world and build something, observe and explore the workings of Nature and the Way to find solutions to all the problems which living life bring, from medicine to architecture, ship-building to aeronautical engineering. The order of the day is to learn and to create, manufacture and refine our work to address a wide array of issues to sustain ourselves in this world we find ourselves on Earth, and beyond. Bravo, Dr. Simon for reminding us to act, to do, to make, not just to sit around and watch.
