on ignoring science & philosophy

[sophiaserpentia]

So I've seen headlines recently on "the science of ignoring science," but really, this is a very simple question. For anything that does not affect day to day life it is easy to repeat whatever you want to yourself. Getting food in your stomach before sundown or passing on your genes does not depend on whether the earth is flat or round or whether the earth is four billion years old or six thousand years old.

My prediction is that the end will be so sudden, so traumatic, that as a reflex action akin to grabbing a banister when falling downstairs, we will all spontaneously recreate the universe anew, and reincarnate into it exactly the way we were before. Or perhaps not exactly.
