 No pity
ktb973, I think you misunderstood what Topher was saying about pity. I believe he was saying that if you only thought scientific exploration was about making better material things that he would pity you, but that he doesn't think you believe that. So what you took as an insult appears to me to actually be a compliment, that you are probably a deeper person with a wider concept of what science should be about than the simple pursuit of a better iPod. |
