It seems that both the Tree and Verne have a point, everyone has a right to an opinion, even when we believe certain topics are immutable and absolute truth. Just take a look at the Stop Fox News North blip over the past few days.
But it seems to me that Tree has got it right… there is a balance somewhere between ignorance and intellect, science and superstition. On the whole it will lean toward Science and Intellect because our societies need systems to function, not only microwaves, but other mundane things like governments as well. But we also need some of the “other” side… without it, I think we lose some of the wonder in our world. We’d lose pregame rituals, letting kids grow and learn according to their needs. It seems we have gotten very good at over thinking things and trying to measure everything, because we can. I don’t think we’ve often stopped to think about if we should. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss, and that lucky coin is really what got things done.
