Journal
Reading a SciAm article[fn:1] on the nature of agnosticism rang a lot of bells this
morning. The idea tht scientism is not the same as doing science, or that belief
in science is not the point at all. The interview with Marcelo Gleiser was
really notable for his reference to a Frank Oppenheimer quote: "The worst thing
a son-of-a-bitch can do is turn you into a son-of-a-bitch" which sounds
delightfully stoic to me. I interpret it as, the worst thing you can do is end
up angry because someone else was angry with you, or mad, or sad or frustrated,
or disappointed. Don't let other people define you.
Belief in science is a real thing. But that doesn't mean you have to go along
with, or be shamed when you personally believe in a monotheistic god.
I also had a really interesting talk with Jessica this morning. She came home
early from work because her client passed away this morning, likely right before
she arrived. We talked a lot about personal stories, and how we define ourselves
and how some couples work and others don't. She marveled at how her grandparents
stayed together for so long, and I remarked that many people have wondered about
that with me and Emma.
She also pointed out something facinating. Most people don't have the
opportunity to see how intimate relationships work from the inside. Her living
here has been her first glimse at a relationship that seems, at least for now,
to work. I thought that was really interesting.
