Thank you Stuart.

Ah, that reminds me of the line in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it”.

The thing is that there seems to be so many opinions at the moment that the facts are getting lost in the maelstrom. Though facts are facts until new facts disproves them, or rather slightly alters our understanding of them.

What this made me think about most, … is that we don’t always make “time to think” in this busy world now.
It’s the classic line from Jurassic Park “We were so embedded in if we could do it, we didn’t stop to thinks should we do it.”
I love science, and scepticism, and critical thinking.
But too often the world, and in particular the media, seem more concerned with opinions than facts.
You can have opinions about anything, but science is “just the facts”.
