    (FB 1543918554 Timestamp) by Ahmed Reda The enlightenment – or rather – the continuous evolution of western man from blacksmith to aristotle, to hume, to darwin et all, is produced by the incremental suppression of comforting falsehoods that imprison us in lack of agency. -Doolittle *NEVER FORGET THAT Rousseau, Kant and the Continentals were the Abrahamist reaction against Hume’s resurrection of Greek reason.

    (FB 1543933688 Timestamp) THIS IS WHY THERE AREN’T AMAZON DRONES, ROBOTS, AND JETSONS The problem of batteries that have the energy density of gasoline, so that the weight of the energy and it’s means of conversion to physical movement. Or more simply, power to weight ratio. Rolling wheels, floating water, lift via air, all make use of land, water, air, to discount the cost of defeating gravity (compared to launching a rocket). If you want the distance coverage of an automobile without refueling (4 hrs), or planes (14 hrs), or boats (HP/.6 pr hr), or ships (150 tons per day or 75T for 8 hrs) we still lack the battery technology. And it is this battery technology that is the principle limitation on mechanical evolution. Hence why biological life forms are so vastly more complicated, but vastly more energy efficient. (You, by contrast, cost about the equivalent of a 100w light bulb to live).

    (FB 1544145333 Timestamp) Even if the illustration is a poor analogy, it does get the point across that constant relations may remain constant across inconstant (inconsistent, incompatible, incommensurable) theories, paradigms, sciences(frames). (The illustration is consistent, compatible, commensurable.)
