Doctors not too long ago would tell you that infants don't experience pain. There are a lot of not backed by science beliefs in the medical field that won't die until the doctors that believe them do. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23548489/

'A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.' — Max Planck

Which is a funny thing for someone who lived through and contributed to at least one entire upending of paradigms to say.

PLENTY of science proceeds without anyone dying. Usually it just requires insanely entertaining loud arguments at large conventions. Go lookup the philosophical arguments about early thermodynamics and like statistical mechanics.

Science advances one unexplainable datapoint at a time.

I really do not understand why did you felt the need to push for circumcisions here. Like, no one asked or discussed them one way or the other. Like ok, it is religious for Jews and Arabs, but no one else have to care.

Who pushed? Jesus, I tried as hard as I knew how not to start a fight, knowing this place plays host to a few foreskin mourners. Better just to avoid entirely, it appears, and duly noted. What a shame the eyeroll emoji is filtered here. That, apparently, is the level people are on. A paragraph is too much! Or is everyone still rationing since Cerebral, or whatever that telemedicine pill mill was called, shut down a f…
