The Mistake in the History of Science?
I want to resist calling any development in the history of science a mistake, because everything that we do leads somewhere. Right. Some roads are more efficient than others, perhaps. But there's no way to know that. So in this context, I want to reserve the word mistake for things you should have known better. Okay. If your metaphysics was right from the beginning, right, then maybe you should have knew better. The history could have been different. And so now we know we need to do something different. Yeah. Excuse me. Well, but I'm, and I want to reject that too. I mean, I think we learned a great deal. yeah.
