filling the void

wow i really want some tasty food.

not that i haven't been eating tasty food. tonight doug made cabbage soup that was most definitely delicious, which we ate over brown rice with a side of roasted acorn squash.

i mean, if that isn't good food...

but yet, i really do really want some tasty food. i think i'm an addict. i think it's that simple.

unrelatedly, but on my mind: after reading in defense of food, by michael pollan, i find myself thinking more about the relevance of the scientific method as a belief system.

i guess what that means is i want to be able to be cognizant of the idea that science IS a belief system. just like existentialism, or christianity. science isn't inherently right. it doesn't actually prove things. because things can't actually be proven. because what's to prove? how do we know? we created god. we created morals. we created logic. we created science. yeah, we're pretty awesome. but nonetheless, they're all human fabrications.

so i ascribe to the science religion, most of the time. mainly i want to be able to cultivate an awareness that what i'm doing, and what most people i know are doing, is ascribing to a religion. science and logic let me know things, the way that faith let people of christianity know things. of course i think my faith is right, and theirs isn't. but that's how they feel about me, also.

this is a touchy subject for me because it has a lot of implications i dont know i like...for example that as a belief system science gets equal footing in school as, say, christianity...that's scary.

maybe i'm way off base with this. it's just what i'm thinking about.
