ever heard of string theory

Science has done great things for us and I'm very appreciative. I've had very little contact scientists outside of the science classes I took as an adult student and a couple of doctors I know well.
I don't know if this is widespread or not, but I noticed they don't really respect the humanities very much - yet they expect to be respected by all.
I find this very interesting.
If you think about it, despite all our scientific advancement we're still struggling with the same basic issues and divisions. For all we've learned, science has made little headway toward the answers to life's greatest questions.

Joe, I think that's because of the present scientific discipline of studying the mechanics of life rather than the art of life. Once we master the art without relying on under-classes to do our suffering for us, meaning the heavy lifting, then we'll approach our potential. We're no where close at present and sometimes I feel that we are sliding backward.
