And I suppose you are suggesting that it is an either/or
proposition? Science or sun pushing dung beetles? That type of
choice is ridiculous.
[Case]
Either/Or?
He suggested a continuum.
A whole, understood in terms of its extremes.
A field of probability.
Krimel,
Two poles and points in-between, that's it? I suppose it is one
world-view, but is it the only choice.

For most of us, either extreme would serve
But we each find our comfort zone twixt the poles.
We settle into coordinates along axes of
Fear of the unknown
And lust for precision.
At points in many dimensions
It can look like shit in all directions.
In such a spot
Any choice must seem ridiculous.
