Hmmm..., true. I do not believe chemical engineers have anything to say
about the quality of life, what's good, what's bad, *because* they
understand chemistry. Of course, often times they *do* have interesting
things to say and can offer insights that would not have occurred to me
*because* they have a knowledge I lack.

And since when has the goal of this list been to teach "Life 101"? I
thought we were here to talk about memetics and just happened to discover
that we all shared this other hobby called "philosophy".
