I often get a sense like something magical has ceased. Especially after thinking too scientifically. It's like the more you try to understand it, the less mysterious it seems, even though it's still mysterious in itself. After a while I come to realise that existence in itself is magical and note that science is just a state of mind for the sole purpose of mastering something for practical reasons. I guess I just think too deep sometimes lol.

Ever watched an amazing movie, then once you've seen Behind-the-Scenes on it, you can never experience it the same way again? I think that's the kind of point that was being made. Learning too much can ruin the special...ness of something.

I've heard it called "unweaving the rainbow" before.

Yes Richard Dawkins has a book named that.  He makes a good argument for science bringing us closer to the wonder rather than removing it.

In this case though, I now feel like automating this process now, which completely defeats the exercise.

I think I shall have to try and sneak in some weird numbers now, just to keep it quirky

Cool BillyBob, yes it comes from a John Keats poem.  Have you read many of Dawkins' books?


The selfish gene changed the way I see the world.  Others I simply enjoyed.  I really want to read the Extended Phenotype but have not made the time.

"I don't always read, but
when I do, I'm on the toilet."

I don't always use the toilet, but when I do I like to read.

Merry Christmas BBJG!
