Another thing we have in common... I embedded the Brittanica in memory when i was 6... which doesn't mean its all immediately and alwasy accessible... but, it is useful, even in things long forgotten... which, when encountered again in ones 20's allowed references to be corrected as to understanding... and refiled... It is a part of a "model based" view of the world... that I think many people lack... and are lost without. When you have a frame of reference that allows for imperfection and error in understanding... change tends to be less disruptive... so that a failed idea... is little different than a failed water pump. You fix it or replace it... and the machine works again. An excess of faith in the infallibility of water pumps... so that failures are met with a refusal to recognize them... tends to lead those who worship machines as gods into error when failures occur. That's as you see occurring... when global warming predictions don't work out. Rather than accept the error and rethink it... double down on the error... because policy depends on it ? LOL! That is why so many horses find themselves baffled by the carts being hitched in front of them...
