Thomas Pynchon Explained In GIFs Form

[Mark Kohut]

Is one question: How much of what is " objective scientific inquiry" an attempt to control? 

I remember Monte giving us an example of ( almost?) pure, loving "science" in M & D, I believe, and from naturalists that go way back, thru the present, we know this exists in History. 

Is the beginning of recording nature, simple catagorizing, the start of cataloging and NAMING scientifically, the beginning of domination, power of nature, science ambiguously in the service of 
Evil ( as well as good)?
