| I agree with you. But you will provoke people by saying things like this. I have been heavily down voted else in this thread for saying something like this I guess it is because people have great difficulty in looking from outside their current time frame. For example, people always thing that they are living in "modern times". We were living in modern times in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, just like we are living in modern times now. People find it hard to comprehend that their times will once be old, and their beliefs and assumptions about the world obsolete, and their scientists proved wrong. It just does not occur to them. This might be giving some kind of false belief that we know nearly all there is to know, which lead to fallacies like the parent comment. He implies we know all there is to know about the exposure to radiation. A quote from Mark twain comes to mind. "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so" Human beings should learn to be modest. How small we are, and how little we know. Then may be we will proceed with more caution and be less reckless with imposing our will upon the other living things on this planet... |
