If he ever gets bored with science, he can always make a living doing voice overs for Jimmy Stewart

Well that is just silly my friend. The two constantly work in tandem and are unmistakably interdependent. That sounds like the jargon of someone who has always succeeded in the sciences and struggled in the humanities. Certainly, without the humanities, the sciences would never have even gotten off the ground, and similarly, we would live in a much less organized and comfortable world without science and experiment.

Baseless speculation, incoherence and sentimentality are some of the key features of the humanities, whereas science might best be characterized as intense critical analysis and experimentation. As far as I can discern, the former is on the path to extinction, and rightly so.

I only meant what I said and not what you said that I implied. Now that I have finished one of Wilsons books (The Future of Life), I think Wilson is naïve when it comes to human behaviour. For example he says that most people have an innate ability to determine when they are being lied to. I disagree.
Nome Chomsky,
George Orwell, Aldus Huxley, Albert Speer and I think that public opinion is an idiot and that the average citizen has a net negative knowledge.

Hmm...I agree that Humanity teachings often misconstrue Science, but do you honestly believe that scientists in all their scramble for monumental discovery have a comprehensive understanding of culture and society. It seems to try to blame one side would be narrow minded
