What would it take for you to change your mind on this?
There are certainly limits to inductive reasoning. And there's probably a limit when it comes to understanding complicated systems with observation. It's valid to ask whether we have reached some of those limits and how we can know in general.
The same smart researchers (and the excitement of the general public) could be focusing on more tractable problems. Maybe carbon capture or inexpensive desalination.
- tigerBL00D 10y agoThat particular sentence is just a rhetorical bridge from the quote. I am really suggesting that it is quite possible to forgo one or two hours of Facebook and Netflix a day and invest that time into asking questions about self. Exercising. Studying biological responses to nutrition strategies and various stressors. One can learn useful stuff armed with sufficient time, gadgets from Amazon, software, and the Internet. And one can demand even more useful tools with his or her wallet.
