No Suck, no Complication. This was a warmup, but a damn good one.

“A wonderful review by Bob Heilbroner in the New York Review of Books, for example, said, This is nice, but after all it’s just about Style, not Substance. Oh, Bob, Bob. When am I going to persuade you that style is substance, you master of style?”

-D. N. McCloskey, Since Rhetoric, The Rhetoric of Economics, 2nd ed.

To attempt to remain the same as we are, to be “true to ourselves” at any specific point in time, is merely to deny who we might become, to deny the sublimity of our potential, and to kill the soul inside us.

Sustenance is not the goal. Living is. The point of life is change.

How many more people will say that in science it is the times that something unexpected happens, the times which challenge our assumptions, turn our theoretical world upside down empirically, or just plain don’t make sense that are the most interesting and significant?

I think it was Isaac Assimov who said:
“The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ‘Eureka!’ but ‘That’s funny…’”

…Or, as they say in Canada, “Eh?”

Poor Archimedes.
