Beautiful articulation and her voice is endearingly persuasive too. Great interview.
Lo que nos motiva a inventar ciertos artilugios tecnológicos, según me parece, va en línea de potenciar nuestros sentidos en términos de ciencia básica; a la vez, de ponernos en posición de dominio. El poder, desde un punto de vista político, está en cada hipótesis, siendo la posible interpretación semántica más adecuada al prefijo a la palabra hipótesis en general.
Thank you 💖💐 🕊️
interesting, thank you
Scientific historians should study how the establishment crushes both rational true innovators and irrational dissenters.
The most profound discoveries have always faced tremendous pushback from the establishment.
just think of Sabine H.
Those who think eureka moments don't exist cannot ever have made a discovery.

10:57 guess you better figure out who marked the daemons/demons/diamonds? Some of this isn’t my imagination it was just stories I heard and I’m just trying to figure out what’s true - because some of you are bored psychopaths literally… I’m guessing it was a church, I don’t enjoy going so your guess is as good as mine!
"God does not change the rules He has chosen once." (Socrates).
All modern scientists are superstitious children in adult bodies who see monsters under the bed. Makes sense. 😅
Or you don't understand basic language. Do you know what computer bugs and viruses are? Are they actually bugs and viruses per the vernacular?
@@homewall744 I actually graduated community college at 18 with an associate's degree in computers. It's called malicious code not a virus... Adults and scientists use precise language children use words like demon. 🤯
Remember No jab No job.
We must never forget WHO coerced and emotionally blackmailed the children to risk as shields, to temporarily and marginally "protect" adults.
Thou shall not use pregnant women as Granny shields.
Risking the young to "save" the old is rotten to the core.
It was a valid and rational position to hold to stop the spread of an unknown virus and health pandemic. Scientist are not without flaws. They are human and subject to the same foibles that we all are.
@@jewulo what about the schools still requiring it to attend?
@@jewuloHowever, those who were ultimately correct were demonized and had their careers destroyed.
To be both correct and unpopular is a very dangerous mix...
@@jewuloSince when has over-reacting in the extreme been considered rational?
how's the tin foil hat? Comfy?
That is the reason why the populus calls scientists and philosophers Geeks.
Irrational people talking about everything being trivial.
Obviously derived from Greek.
There must have been early contacts in England.
Perhaps because they had fled Greek democracy killing Socrates for his absurd ideas.
Anytime somebody uses ontology too often in a sentence I get worried. They are trying to place themselves in a higher knowledge category wherein science and scientist are folks in one of the many categories that make up the world. According to these type of folks there are many categories. Religious, Philosophical, Scientific, etc. All these are just various categories that have equal validity. I always worry that it might be nothing more than a special kind of salad they are making here. A word salad to be precise.
Well it beats having to invent other words
I am also worried that we are just watching some reworking of labels here. However, I find myself dreading the mechanicsist, pragmatic attitude, and discourse of scientists. People like her are not as harmful as those whom she is placing in those categories...
7:53. Daemon in Greek means spirit not an evil entity.
Thse are not "imaginary concepts". They DO work!! Science has been the only thing that explains the national world. Not religion.
The intellectual level of this discussion is pathethic.
Is Maxwell's demon real?
@@Robinson8491 yes. I had tea and biscuits with it yesterday.
Religion is necessary to explain what science cannot. It is irrational to think that science can explain all phenomena.
Religion actually explains far more of human nature than science ever has.
@@stevenverrall4527 the myths of religion explain nothing.
@@stevenverrall4527 like revived corpses, talking snakes and virgin births?
