Telling myself that I could be acting like one of many scientists centuries ago that denounced Copernicus's assertion that Earth is not the center of the universe









Hi Jim,
love your comment. I am sometimes wondering what of the things everyone believes to be true today are actually not true and will be updated and proven totally wrong in the future. I imagine students in hundred or more years from now thinking “can you imagine all the things that the people in 2008 still thought to be true?” But your way of putting a similar thought is really helpful in not forming judgements about people or situations and I live that.
Thanks Dhyan. I don't think I will really mind if future generations think we live in a dark age, because that is a sign of good progess being made to advance humanity.
