Or what, Gravity and Relativity don't apply to the question of supermarket where you prefer to buy your food? We're taught to think in terms of arrogance: Nature is Nature and We are We. Well, it's not so in practice: everything from climate to particles has to do with us messing with all of it, think of HUMANITY'S place in evrything you're thinking about which I don't deny it's fascinating and necessary. Someone in this forum said something "common sense". Charles Wright Mills, a radical American sociologist, has got an exquisit phrase: "COMMON SENSE IS MORE COMMON THAN SENSE"
