Thank you for your feedback. I’m trying to follow the threads where they lead, Malcolm, see if maybe I can do some good. I still think you’re basically right. Garbage in, garbage out.
This is great - absolutely adding this into the start of one of the units in the Human Flourishing course. On that note, in a Human Flourishing course lens, I would lead the students right over to the UC Berkeley "wheel" and just move from knowledge lens to knowledge lens and annotate what you wrote, and then discuss what is missing. Sorry - using a quick link to the wheel that was actually used by a guest presenter in the course (who does nutrition work but not with this specific link to some type of diet)...
A few of my students were consistently curious about spirituality, so that led to theology, systematic theology, across faiths this past semester, and I think your writing here might lead to there with a student or two next year.
There was an artist here on Substack this morning who switched from a life in CS to a life in Fine Arts and she was referencing liminal spaces.
My hunch is that quantum science will really push into the neuro edge of what we perceive as materially real, but then are we jumping to metaphysics for our vocabulary when we see newly, differently, through what is illuminated by our quantum tools?
You are connecting themes of transition, perception, reality, and the inadequacy of purely material explanations for human experience in very interesting ways - whether in art, spirituality, or cutting-edge science. You’re asking: when science reveals phenomena that stretch our materialist worldview, do we inevitably turn to spiritual or metaphysical language to make sense of it? interesting work you are doing with your students!!
Terry. I for one have a solid "hunch" you are on to something here 6/13 ;)

So relieved someone is paying attention, understanding, exploring, and explaining this to us and others. Thanks Terry!
That’s kind of you, Rob. I plan to keep on the job and contribute what I can.
