Descartes added onto the work of Bacon, who sought to use Nature, rather than appreciate its infinite possibilities. It's why many believe we can upload our soul to the cloud, while not even comprehending the spiritual, limitless expanse of the soul itself.

Great piece, Clif. I am neither intellectual or academic, but I think you nailed it here, writ large. Ha.

I prefer your written pieces to your commuting blogs, but being a homesteader myself, I always wonder how you have time to compose them!! I value (not worship) your teachings, and often find what you impart useful, which is better than just interesting. I hope you're around through the end of this war to keep guiding us to better things.
