High adventure, too

Conversation is high adventure, too: “Very few see science as the high adventure it really is, the wildest of all explorations ever undertaken by human beings, the chance to catch close views of things never seen before, the shrewdest maneuver for discovering how the world works.” Lewis Thomas, Late Night Thoughts on Listening to Mahler’s Ninth Symphony, p 154. Then again, science is a conversation—in theorems, studies, papers, and books.
