TRP and Science 2 (was: Science Plays God)

[alice wellintown]

I don't get the two cultures thing you are  stuck on. There is pleasure in
science, and in art, in math, and in fiction. Fiction, as Huck says, is
stretches of what is mainly truth, but it don't make no claims to it.  And,
as for pleasure, there is more in lies, in invention, in fiction, than in
truth. Who claims truth....as Wicks says...and science is more prone to
this lie than the makers of wit and fiction and that, as a wise poet once
said, makes all the difference when you come to the fork in the road and
take it.
