I really appreciate this feedback, I'll look into both of those before the next post. Just wanted to say thanks.

Wait are you writing from the past?

I just really wish most people had this same kind of attitude, but can't in good faith say that's what I'm observing.

Thanks for the book recommendation! I wasn't there for the Galileo spat, so I can't be certain, but I always appreciate more reading.

It's a brutally simple combination of `@kevingimbel/eleventy-plugin-mermaid` with `svg-pan-zoom` :)

Thanks for your thoughts, they perfectly extend mine. I agree that it would be a sign of a very fragile belief system if it gets unwound by a single bit of contradictory evidence. And as to the "facts" that we're getting 24/7 coming out of every microwave is just a sign of complete decoupling of people's beliefs from empirical reality, in my humble opinion. Supply and demand and all that.
