Idolatrizing Bubbles

Posted April 19th, 2008 by Anonymous

Ideas are like bubbles in a boiling pot.
When the temperature gets close to 100 C, there will be a 'first' bubble to bubble.

Ideas are the bubbles of the Zeitgeist, of the context, of the circumstance.
Had the first bubble waned, had it been frustrated, others would inexorably come.
Tautology: the first one to bubble is the first one to bubble.

Ideas want to effervesce.

Words like 'father of this', and 'seminal that' point back to individuals. But ideas are like droplets of water from saturated vapor: they will condense out of sheer necessity.

Condensation is an event, Evaporation is an event.

The primacy of the first bubble is irrelevant.
Given the normal conditions, it will boil.

No one ever heard of bubbles fighting over who bubbled first.
T'would be silly.

Act after the fact

Are GMO's (genetically modified organisms) good or bad?
Truth is, this is a case-based case. Decision depends on the case under gaze.

Problem: the outcome can only be seen when it's conspicuously there. We may discuss all the potential danger, but until one turns out to be the case, it is just an exercise in conjecturing.

But. We humans cluster judgements - from conjectures into laws - because if we don't generalize, we can't act.

So, inexorability of disaster: between the hypothesis of hunger (no GMOs) and worldwide intoxication (with GMOs) we will only know when they are there.

Makes our efforts in preventing them pretty pointless. Put us in the brink of disaster.

Sound the Alarms! Run like a mad man! Whatever direction!
