A Jerusalem antiquities dealer died in disgrace over these fragments in 1884. A century and a half later, the argument over what he actually had still hasn’t settled.
A gripping whodunnit. And buried in your account is a question of great contemporary, even existential, importance. How does the burden of proof shift in field occupied by self-proclaimed experts to whom whole frames of reference are entrusted
What I'm thinking about is climate change. Or, more accurate, our growing climate chaos/collapse. Here's the question: do we confront this epochal challenge with post-Enlightenment tools or with a new ontology/episte6/axiology?
Right now the burden is on the usurpers? The status quo insists it has a workable reality-grip to create a sustainability science, economy, governance. Let's call it the Sustainability Faith or Sustism.
But this placement of the BOP (yes, every law-trained person knows the acronym) assumes the tightness, the inherent tightness, of Sustism. It's the current prevailing leap of faith. And its staying power arises from existential fear.
This BOP is misplaced. We be ave evidence - thanks to psychology, sociology, and archaeology - that an int/epistem/axiology of data-driven animism + deep consciousness has worked and can work. Yep, flip the BOP
Simple enough. Notice how you suggested the BOP was misplaced in the Shapiro case. Why? Because, if you follow the money, it was misplaced. That's the key: the current Sustism wreaks of moneyed influence. That's where we the Anima-ful should be pointing.
Tanner,
