We continue to be blessed with a preponderance of Turkeys.
We don’t mind. Most aboriginal cultures recognizing turkeys consider them signs of abundance. Not quite success but close to.
We’re experiencing much abundance even though the world (as I write this) is concerned with the corona virus.
In the early part of the outbreak, people googled seeking a connection between Corona beer and the corona virus.
Made me wonder if the virus could target stupidity. Ignorance I don’t mind. Sometimes ignorant people recognize they’re ignorant and take steps to educate themselves. They read a book, watch a documentary, take a class, talk with neighbors, …
But then you get the folks who know they’re ignorant and chose to remain so.
I’ve never understood that; the willful choice to remain in the dark when one step away is so much light.
But I also understand knowledge can be fearful. Discovering you were in error on something? Especially if it’s something you hold dear, close to heart, sacred? Something you’ve based your life on?
Such happens all too often in science, sorry to say.
I’d like to think people with scientific training are immune to such ego based ideals, are able to recognize truth as truth and promote it.
Nah…what am I thinking?
Scientists are people, too.
Some of them are just stupid ones.
Meanwhile, the Turkeys congregate and convocate and discuss what they’ll do when we’ve long past.
