Energy

How often do you think about electricity? Magnets? Light?

Energy itself?

What has scientific inquiry told us about energy?

Does that explain what it is?

Do you think we can know what something is by looking at it? By knowing what it does?

Is there an essence of a thing that runs deeper than the senses can reach?

Or is that just crazy Platonist talk?

What does the scientific paradigm offer to human experience?

Detachment in unfamiliar situations? Methods for developing responses and intuiting answers?

What does it remove from human experience?

Fear? Proximity?

Does it matter what the pros and cons are? Isn't this the world we live in now? Should we just go with the "civilized" way of looking at the world without weighing our options?

Is there more than one way to look at the world while maintaining honesty? Is that relativism, or something else?

Is there an advantage to looking at the world in different ways?

Is it dangerous?

What's energy?

A wave? A particle? A movement? Power? Life? God's breath?

Why is energy found everywhere?

Does that change anything?
