Reflections from Colorado’s Wilderness
“Nature, to be controlled, must be obeyed”
-Sir Francis Bacon
A perfect contradiction lifted from one the modern scientific method’s founders. Despite the tendency to separate “civilization” and “wilderness”, each essential human behavioral tendency has evolved from our experiences with nature, and many of today’s most fundamental theories, from Aristotle, to Bacon, to Galileo, to Darwin, were rooted in keen observations of the natural world.
Using that as my excuse, I took two weeks to explore Colorado’s Wilderness regions on route to the 2009 International System Dynamics conference.
