Howdy, RAF,
SCIENCE goes through these doldrum periods, too, when all seems wrapped-up, and
the old-timers sit back and smoke thick sickening cigars, which youngsters
shun.
Then, upstarts come along and generate a Revolution. Their work is rejected at
first, of course, but, then, after the fogies die off, a new day dawns in a new
world. This just continues to happen, and happen, and happen.
See if it won't be the same.
I agree that the fogies need do "no thing".
They won't have to. And haven't had to. Historically.
The sprouts who have have sprouted will become whelps, and then soon will have
power over their lives. I have faith in this process, only because it has
brought us to today. Talk about empiricism! You, too, are the living proof.
Living for how long, none of us knows. But you'll be followed by folks whom
you could only precede, anciently. They'll be masters of the world you helped
to give them, and they will be grateful, while they also understand that there
is much for THEM to DO, because you did not *do* it, GrandPop.
We all love a challenge.
So, see?, again they'll be grateful.
Kudos.
(if you don't see the beauty of this, then, where have you been living? On a
mountain, someplace?) ;-)
