I guess part of it is fighting fire with fire. Part of it is that we have a weakness that is being exploited in certain circumstances. I see plenty of room for a plurality of strategies, some I like quite well. I also recognize that philosophy and science is not everyone's cup of tea. Both of those are powerful sciences that shape our world, for better or worse.
Natural science is based on a philosophy and a method.
The philosophy is based on two axioms. We have scientists here, and I think science has great influence on society. So I think it would be prudent to appeal to science. We can do this via the human connection, and we can also attempt science ourselves. I'm not sure that's my goal.
