Your Aeon article and this piece were thrilling to read! Your presentation of quantum mechanics and Wittgenstein are thoughtfully considered and articulated for your audience, the best I think I’ve ever read. I agree very strongly that we should look at scientific activity as a cultural activity, for all the reasons you mention. I’m going to try to pick up and take a next step from where you leave off and respond here again later today. Again, thank you very much for both these pieces and the spirit in you that drove you to write them.
