Give your regards to Ignaz Semmelweis and Galileo Galilei, and Lynn Margulis.
Ignaz Semmelweis - died in a mental hospital after being forced out of his obstetrics practice for daring to claim that hand-washing before performing C-sections or other surgery drastically increased the rate of survival among mothers of pregnancies with complications. We know who was on the right side of history here.
Galileo Galilei - put under house arrest for "heresy" by the government for daring to claim that the Earth goes around the Sun not the other way around and that Jupiter has moons. Died in agony in confinement. His dearly beloved daughter starved to death in a convent because he was unable to provide for her.
Lynn Margulis - Ridiculed by the man-child "scientists" of her generation, including the "esteemed" Richard Dawkins," for daring to claim that the entire Earth, that is to say Gaia, is an integrated living organism and that we are symbiotic with bacteria, archaea, fungi, and everything, everything is alive and we cannot live without one another.
And then listen to this song.
Free your mind.
Thank you for this, I needed to hear it. Now is the time to be bold in the face of the sludge we wade through everyday. I'm tired of feeling let down and demoralized. Life lasts two days and the first is spent waking up. About time we become wide awake.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Thank you for coming back, I missed your posts terribly (even if I don't comment usually). I was really worried about you! I'm so glad to see you here again! ❤️
