When media discourse becomes unbearable, I will switch to some popular science.
Science is cool. It gives facts. It conveys reason. And at some point, it reminds me how utterly insignificant we are in the vast universe.
So, today I was listening to a podcast about enzymes. (In a nutshell, enzymes are proteins that control chemical reactions in living organisms, thus regulating the time for cells to live.)
All went well, and then the presenter said: ‘… life is a constant fight against disorder; you need to be able to stick things together that want to fall apart…’ Oh dear, I felt that.
