I hear you, Scott, and thanks...but I'd love to replace one word: "gotta."
We humans have the option to override our drives for the benefit of others. Thus, we (especially men) have to be careful to not act first and blame biology later.
Hahaha ! just like the Voynych manuscript ! I had read about it and then saw an older doc on youtube, where they showed pics. I immediately recognized some plants for calming, then saw the pics of pregnant women, and knew what it was - a medieval doctor's manual to treat pregnant women. The 2 experts, a linguist declaring it written in an unknown language, and a historian of some kind, declaring it an early Da Vinci (I am sure the man turned around in his grave) were very serious. A newer doc showed a journalist, who had come to the same conclusion as I did, and he also showed a drawing of an Italian city with special walls - there are only a couple of these. He then found the 2 original books, from which this one had been copied. If a historian cannot see the difference between a medieval and a renaissance book, how can we ever believe anything they say ! And as to the alphabet - the journalist figured out it was just plain old latin, but abreviated - one tsp of this and two Tbsp of that.... ah those experts! The scientism ! LOL
I LOVED this....thank you...I shared it on two big substack platforms....hope some will find you here... you are a hidden gem! 💎...oh, and thank you for The Science...... 😉
Overrated indeed! 🤣
It calls to mind something George Bernard Shaw said: "Science is always wrong. It never solves a problem without creating ten more."
All kidding aside, I strongly believe in the intelligence of humanity. But we all need to be doing intense work on being less ego-driven.

That's some heavy duty science! Thankfully, it's much more entertaining than, e.g., poisonous injectable products or novel ways to slaughter children.
I hear you, James. This felt like a rare opportunity to expose The Science™ without disrespecting the victims.

Thanks and amen to this, Ingrid: "how can we ever believe anything they say?"
Ha. And I thought 2009 Latvian meteorite hoax taught people to be skeptical of fresh craters.
