peatantics

Hello! My real name is Peter Clarkson. Peat-ant-icks is a name invented for online activity. My interest in Science is from the view that David Hume had concerning "Natural Religion" which too my mind, heart and soul extends outward from Bacon's four pesky idols of Cave,Tribe, Market and last but not least the Theatre of which this forum is a part too.

Vain Wisdom all and false Philosophy.

Yet with a pleasing sorcery could charm

Pain, for a while, or anguish; and excite

Fallacious Hope, or arm the obdurate breast

With stubborn Patience, as with triple steel.
