Off-base on certain subjects. Teaching the children is a very delicate matter, involving

much more than you mention.

You tout a bit of pseudo-science yourself, but don't know it.

Science zealots are left-brain-dominant thinkers, espousing the Religion of Scientia.

Most of them don't know themselves very well, but the posturing is heavy and thick.

Science is now heavily flawed, imperfect in method.

Goodbye.

Steven,

I'm not exactly sure what you object to.

1. What delicacies should be incorporated in teaching children?

2. How do you define pseudo-science?

3. I'm not sure what your point is regarding "science zealots", What does left brain thinkers have to do with making science a religion, especially since not all scientists are wanting to make science a religion?

4. Since the author acknowledges the imperfections in science, what point are you trying to make?

Can you expand on your thinking?

My last reply should be enough. Read McGilchrist for more analysis on left-brain approaches, and the harm it does to the World.

The Ego resides in the left brain. BTW.

Goodbye.

Your last reply said nothing, it was just a list of cheap shots, and now you refuse to answer saying "read McGilchrist". That's not an answer, it's an evasion. I can only conclude you can't answer, so you won't answer.

You donтАЩt understand your own neural makeup.

ThatтАЩs the true evasion.

Your reply basically said nothing.

If you read difficult works, like McGilchrist, you would learn more about your neural natureтАж

but no, you seem like a sci-zealot.

You canтАЩt concludeтАж about what you donтАЩt understand.

GoodbyeтАжand good luck with learning.

That's still not an answer to my questions. You accuse, you evade, and pontificate from on high without justification. That's evasion.

Stephen: TY for sharing your opinions. My short answer is that you are conflating scientists with Science. Science is a process, and has proven to be the most effective way we have of getting to the truth about technical matters. Scientists, on the other hand, are many times individuals who have political or economic agendas, and they hide behind their supposed connection with Science.
