GOOD PHILOSOPHERS MATTER [S]o, as evidence of the importance of philosophers – at least the scientific kind – the failure of the western culture in the 20th century was due to the failure of the western thinkers to solve the problem of truthfulness that would have ended the combination of democracy and pseudoscience in the present era, just as philosophers failed to defeat the combination of immigration of third worlders, ignorance of women, transportation, writing, and mysticism in the ancient world. WE MATTER. GOOD AND BAD. WE MATTER

“sometimes what works satisfyingly for a time is subsequently found replaceable
—“sometimes what works satisfyingly for a time is subsequently found replaceable by something that works even better — for example, the discovery that Newtonian mechanics is a special case of relativistic mechanics that holds exactly only in the limit of v approaching zero, but is “good enough” an approximation for most government work when v is << c)”— Frank Lovell
Posting to my site today, found this quote from Frank.
The interesting thing is that this also means “at human scale”.
In other words Human Scale is approximately equal to v, where v is approximately equal to zero.
We perceive the universe slowly.

I think they are fantastic examples to learn from in the sense that they escaped the pseudoscientific era, remaining empirical.
