You know, it’s cute how you’re railing against tradition like it’s some stubborn old man refusing to get with the times. But here’s the plot twist: tradition is the result of the scientific method. Yeah, let that sink in.
Think about it. Tradition didn’t just appear out of nowhere, fully formed, because a bunch of people got sentimental about how Grandpa did things. It’s the culmination of centuries of trial and error, a living record of what works because it survived a relentless process of real-world testing. People tried different ways of living, organizing, governing, and just being human. Most of it failed. What didn’t fail became tradition.
What you’re really mad about is that tradition doesn’t move at the speed of your impatience. Sorry, but just like in science, real progress doesn’t care about your timetable. You’re not mad at tradition—you’re mad that it won’t bend over backwards for every unproven, flashy idea that comes along.
In other words, you’re arguing that we should ditch the conclusions of the longest-running social experiment humanity has ever conducted just because you’re bored. That’s not progress—that’s ignoring the results because they’re inconvenient. Tradition is science that passed the test. You’re just annoyed that the answers aren’t new enough for your taste.
