"Shaking off the anaesthetic of familiarity"

A lucidly simply, yet daunting, purpose of science. Quoted from the most literate science educator I have yet to come across, Mr. Richard Dawkins. I am just dipping my neurons into "Growing up in the Universe" and already I have evaluated new ideas and changed the way I will teach science - enlightenment, if ever there was. I hope you take the time to watch it if you can.

As I sit and watch the waters of the Fraser and Nechako sweep over my new city as the people watch with a torrent of complacency, I ponder It. Science. Earth. Cosmos. Insects. Evolution. Macro-Invertebrates. Legumes. Industry. Society. Ethics. Godlessness. Not needing a myth to lean on ... It.
