Are most scientists emotionally mature adults?

[Kilgore Trout]

I expect, like any group of people, some scientists are emotionally mature and others are not. Someone's profession has little to do with how emotionally mature they are. However, anyone who uses a highly exaggerated, stereotyped, fictional character to attempt to denigrate a whole profession is clearly neither emotionally, nor intellectually mature. The extreme levels of cognitive bias that some people freely flaunt is both comical and sad at the same time.

I have to say that I personally think that the original question, "Are most scientists emotionally mature adults?" is a ridiculers question, it makes no sense at all.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

No, see, I'm on board with the whole nonsense thing; so, if you refute me, it would have to be something that makes ''sense'' /opposite of nonsense./ Otherwise, you end up not making sense to me, or to the point being discussed. Make sense?

I'm not much of an expert on the behaviors of kitchen ware. However, I find their nonsense communication habits fascinating. Please continue, I'm learning a lot.

Yep that's it, sometimes there is no answer, and that is how it is, but the ego always wants an answer.

Are there prizes for number of posts I don't know about?

"Good" and "evil" are great examples too. It means that there are no absolutes in those contexts, and those notions are can change from person to person. What one considers "evil" might be different to another mind.

That's not relating subjectivity to freedom, it is relating subjectivity to uniqueness.
