Who knew that looking at your own feet twice would expose the crevasse between science and politics?
I didn’t. But there it is, plain as laces, and ya gotta relish the process: writing is not an act of teaching. It’s a way, a path, a practice of learning.
Which brings us again to Science, the greatest engine of information ever.
And—that said—well, science and politics are not exactly opposites. It’s not that simple. Politics has been called the art of the possible. In that context, science could be called the art of expanding the possible.
Sometimes, the art of the possible and the unimagined possibilities of the possible reach across the crevasse and find common ground where none existed before.
Feet on the ground, moving to new ground.
