>You know I think our main difference here is that I took the liberty to call something that "people can choose to believe or not believe in" a "belief system". That may be a loaded word insofar as it is commonly only awarded to non-scientific areas Oh yeah, fair. It is loaded with me and that is due to my poor luck avoiding anti-science types these lasn few years. If I came across somehow judging you or some other negative / crappy thing, I apologize and that was not my intent at all. I also had some education in my early life, through mentors with crazy good skills, who really wanted the young people in their circles to understand science and what knowing and believing really are. No worries. Agreed on differences in crypto. Oversimplifying things relate crypto is. chronic right now. The whole thing makes me think of the laser. Once we command of that tech, it was an killer solution looking for problems to solve. For a while there lasers were basically a curio! A big step forward, needing other steps to be taken before we were able to realize benefit. Cheers, and have a great week!
