Science is a cold, hard, unforgiving, and careless bitch, and I love it for this very reason. Science is a tool that doesn't care what your feelings are. Science is a method that never considers how conclusions may bruise your ego or your worldview. Science is a machine that will chew you up and spit your out without blinking an eye. No one should ever go to the world of science expecting to be comforted or to feel better about themselves. Science is the extention of pure logic and reason.

I love it when he talks dirty... And boy, is he right! Beautifully said, Loud.

Re: Andya Primanda at "Homo floresiensis" topic
Maybe because, although I think Andya is top notch, and really appreciate the effort he put into that translation, I tend to reserve my POTM nominations for people who present their own works, words or opinions. IOW, that wasn't a POTM - even though it represented a tremendous amount of effort to translate and I found it very interesting.
​
Sorry, Andya. That's just the way I do it. Others, obviously, disagree.
