I agree; except for the light above one's head none could lead and none were ever lead.

Wake up and realize that contribution to science as in meaningful insights to the problems on the border of systematic knowledge is the highest form of labour one can undertake, from two pov: aesthetic in process, useful in product. Get out there and solve stuff that nobody has figured out, there are enough farmers already.
Aaron Jenkins
Two old books that may interest (you), user. D.G. James' Scepticism and Poetry, and Owen Barfield's Poetic Diction. That is, if constructing a plausible (general) view along these lines interests.
Angel Mitchell
It is more fun and interesting to use science as a foundation of my imagination In fact literature tends to be less imaginative as certain science can be
Jose Davis
>realizing you actually agree with OP
John Gomez
So which one is religion? art or imagination? I'm gonna go with imagination. I agree with you for the most part, except that science can give you some world changing perspectives; like the fact that we all come from different exploded stars dust.
Dylan Bennett
Why is it superior to construct your own worldview instead of listening to someone you recognise as smarter or more educated? Why not build on what others have already found out instead of being stuck in phase 1, repeating age-old mistakes and never getting anywhere? What is meaningful about consuming anything?
Kevin Gutierrez
How so? To mean this truthfully is to claim to be nourished by the invisible invisible. A double focus on language (and its tricks) and one's own observation in both reading and in life is far more profitable. Not that science hasn't a place in this. It does. But one of many.
Cameron Roberts
What you're describing is life before technology. You're not clever, you're not witty for this. You're just a normal person becoming an adult who is perhaps aware that this hyperconnected world isn't sustainable because either a) the world as is runs on privacy, and that's a Mary Shelly's monster at this point; or b) everyone will become slaves to each other, and that slavery will be marketed, as it already is.
Andrew Rogers
I know this is bait, but I'll bite.
If everyone believed in this and applied it to their life, nothing would get done. We wouldn't have computers and we would still be using coal (lol).
Xavier Gonzalez
Science is a beautiful art, but is ultimately destroying us a species under the grips of business AND religion. Science shouldn't be an answer, but a screwdriver--not a rocket ship.
Angel Martin
>still be using coal What did he mean by this?

>Why is it superior to construct your own worldview instead of listening to someone you recognise as smarter or more educated? This question answers itself. Why not build on what others have already found out instead of being stuck in phase 1, repeating age-old mistakes and never getting anywhere? I agree.
Adrian Reyes
This misses the point of literary writing. First (you) stew yourself in the past by reading- science too. Then keep your eyes open, detect change, difference. Become an awake child of your time. Write it.
Liam Ross
Most of our modern world only exist to provide comfort for those who are too weak to thrive in nature.
Evan Lopez
Because of pic related. It's the greatest struggle of isolated existence in my eyes--realizing what's true is ambiguous of truth. Truth is neutrality, and either true are it's wings.
Kayden Davis
Read my follow up .
I already do this. You take stones from great towers of the past, but all you have is a pile of bricks unless you be the machine you are. My point was contained within the point of your reply. I play neutrality on this board. The post both dismisses and affirms the OPs post because either is valid.
And heck, there surely is some bias in what science I read. Some of it is not even consensus science but all kinds of hypotheses that have not been thoroughly tested, and some are highly speculative.
I think common culture comes up with all kinds of creativity such as metaphors, sayings and so on and so on, but some of it is really plain or just wrong (but sometimes useful).
Grayson Harris
Interesting. I do more or less the same. My next point was to be 'the program's' unavoidability. Despite what's said 'literary writing' remains the same. Good or not. My other post concerns the book recs supra. They may interest (you) as well. Serious.

You're comparing an isolated instance that only argues half my point. I'm not disparaging. I'm simply saying we're turning away from our planet and ourselves in favor of technology. We should be using it to grow ourselves with our planet and not expect it to save us from our planet when we waste it away as a byproduct.

Science beyond taxonomy necessarily breaks down useful imageries, pursues its facts beyond the realm of the raw senses one relies upon when writing non-scientifically. If one wants to write, it only makes sense to study writing first, and the correlative arts that also rest at least traditionally on 'raw sense data,' as opposed to say 'formulae'. A knowledge of favored sciences (I sky-watch, like birds and trees and know quite a bit about local flora and fauna) though certainly useful, will not aid (you) ultimately in becoming a solid non-scientific writer as certainly as a knowledge of the non-scientific arts will. A knowledge of science can't hurt ones desire to practice law, for instance, but if one wants to become a lawyer one reads law, there's no real way around this. I think it's a mistake to take writing for granted. In writing 'images' are visible invisibilities-- a red oak, its dark bark as seen from a distance, the acorn in your shoe. The formula for photosynthesis, even if it could be properly visualized, lends itself only to repetition. At any rate true science in its twin journeys toward the infinite and the infinitesimal is anti-imagistic and therefore thoroughly anti-imagination at least in the way the imagination is generally 'used' by the arts inclusive of writing. Okay. I'm through misreading. If science is what in fact inspires (you) then read on, of course.

Oh, brother. It has more than a single meaning. In context it means 'informative,' which is what knowing the names of things is, dope.
