Oh yeah, for magic "tricks" that's fair:-).

You could still use it to cause squeals of delight from young'uns who don't know any better yet. So the utility is vastly diminished, but not entirely gone.

Open your mind, and you'll see it again. Below organisms lay organs, tissues, cells, molecules, atoms, subatomic particles, and even before you hit the quantum it all works together spectacularly, in ways that nobody really understands.

e.g. is there a cure for Alzheimer's, or "cancer", or death? Can we grow new limbs, either from the patient's own cells or at least off the rack generically? We've convinced ourselves that just bc we have a good enough microscope to view the book of life (DNA, plus some other stuff like mitochondria and centrioles) that we "understand" it, but we do not, I promise you, or else we would have all of those aforementioned things.

But don't take my word for it: pick one of those places you mentioned and visit it - I mean actually go there. You will see what even the locals who have lived right next to it for their entire lives do not. Or start reading a Wikipedia page for something you have always been interested in but never taken the time to learn about, and you'll see that you may never want to stop... The mystery is nowhere close to being gone, we've just told ourselves that it is.

Does it, really? Or is it "magic" all the way down...? :-D

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 1 year ago

We probably will be:-)

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 1 year ago

You would think so, while on the other hand...

To that kitty, you are like unto a god. Be a good one! :-D

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 7 points 1 year ago

It kinda is... hear me out: from the man's perspective that is.:-P (All you have to do is ignore all efforts by the woman to perform the delivery)

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 7 points 1 year ago

Hehe, but unix shell scripting can do so much...

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Definitely... not. So feel free to steal my idea ~~and do all the work~~, if you wanted:-P.
