An outstanding encapsulation, Dr. Nose Probe. I will add #21, "We learned most around us would eagerly participate in the Milgram experiment and afterwards sacrifice their children, any children really, to Moloch."
Thank you for the kind words. I stand aghast at the wanton destruction of the scientific method I've witnessed over the last 20 months. I love science - I think the scientific method is one of mankind's greatest achievements. It brought us out of an era of superstitious and magical thinking. But we seem to have returned to that pre-Enlightenment voodoo.
You're welcome - I'm glad my humour worked - my kids tell me it doesn't work all that often! I think it's important we retain some humour and good spirit - even in the face of what are very dark and troubling and serious times.
So funny, so true and in many ways so sad. This is an experiment and as a paid up member of the scientific method cult I know this will all come out in the peer review, it just might take longer to get this published than normal. I love the books that are out right now but in time the books written looking back on this will be epic. We are not going back to the era of “magic tricks and superstition”!

Ah, the abject quiet of the school playground. 🤔
It's all sad and true, but putting it out there like you did makes me smile. Thank-you for that smile.

Eh, what do kids know? 😉
A brilliant piece! Loved it. Many thanks.
Still laughing!

Oh I love this.
