Technology, technology, technology. Science, science, science. Physical, physical, physical.

When it comes to consciousness and peering deeper into the unknown, these three things have become our holy trinity.

Consequently, we define our limitations by obsessively and predictably selecting our own deities.

I’m not demeaning science. But I’m forcefully saying that we are convincing ourselves that we have perfected our inner radar, to only look in the direction that appears right, when there are entire worlds that exist to the left. Certainty is a slippery slope.

That which exists between science and rationality is not necessarily irrationality.

Why plant all the crops in the lush valley? Because the floods may come and destroy it all. Why not plant some crops up in the highlands? Spread the risk.
