Talk:Pataphysics Manipulation/@comment-24729606-20180120024808

Physics, metaphysics, pataphysics. At what point are we just goin to accept that some things are beyond our capacity to understand. Besides perhaps there are some things we shouldn't understand. After all history has shown that since has a tendency to be misused within a short period of time (sometimes even by the "visionaries" responsible for a given discovery). I won't deny that science could bring about some tremendous benefits for life on Earth but in order for that to happen we need pure science (science not bound by whom is paying for it) not science for its own sake, although that too gave rise to some immensely important works. At the same time we need people are willing to do stuff without wanting something in return (if we had more people like that then we would at least set a much needed positive precedent, but only if such people were to disgrace themselves because they feel the world owes them something for the work they've done)
