Science in Action...

We talk about the "scientific method," around here. We believe in it. And use it. Sometimes it's not the most efficient way to live, but it seems to keep us grounded, closer to the real; open-ended & open-minded.  We start with an attitude of humility, possibility, and wonder. If I were to distill our own personal version of the scientific method in action it would be like so: "Who knows?! I mean, fuck, why don't we try it, and see what happens?" Sure. There are some dead-ends, some chasing rabbits down rabbit-holes, lots of knocking our heads against barriers, and hard, unblinking, realities. We don't know what we don't know. Then sometimes, with a bit of  improv & experimentation, and pure, dumb, luck, we come to a sort of tentative understanding. Some hard-earned, hard-won, knowledge knocks on our foreheads. Seems that sometimes we even actually learn something, and we get shit done. Funny, but true. Real-world, amateur-scientists, fumbling around, out in the wild.
