olsen jay nelson Yes, we need the meeting between the common and the scientific knowledge

I agree in part with that, Sakis; I do lament the shift from knowledge-oriented science to the more pragmatic concerns that require effective outcomes beyond mere illumination within the lens of scientific enquiry, etc — filling in the gaps, as it were. The power of the funding bodies to decide on resource allocation is one of the main driving forces of that, and it’s sad as it leaves a lot untouched. However, I also appreciate the underwhelming nature of some of the common-knowledge results of science for some of those both inside and outside the academy. In a scarcity-based reality, priorities tend to take precedence; this often ends up favouring action-oriented R&D. We need more examinations of common sense, as you say, for a variety of reasons, but priority rank-ordering is still probably necessary and sensible … more or less … and until we reach a post-scarcity or, at least, a resource-rich reality that can cope with broader scope, lol!
