“There is often an ebb and flow of reason throughout society's history, influenced by various cultural, political, scientific, and philosophical movements. Periods of enlightenment, progress, and reason are often followed by times of conservatism, mysticism, or reaction against intellectualism.

For example:

• The Classical Age (5th-4th centuries BCE):
  Ancient Greece experienced a flowering of reason and philosophy, with thinkers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle who emphasized logic, ethics, and the pursuit of knowledge. However, this period was followed by wars and instability, and eventually a shift toward Roman pragmatism and later religious thought.
  
  
• The Renaissance (14th-17th centuries)
  After the Middle Ages, the Renaissance brought a renewed focus on reason, humanism, and science, reviving classical knowledge and artistic expression. But this was followed by periods of religious conflict and the Counter-Reformation, which reasserted traditional authority.

• The Enlightenment (17th-18th centuries)
  A period of intellectual flourishing in Europe, emphasizing reason, science, and individual rights, which inspired democratic revolutions. However, the Romantic era soon followed, with a turn towards emotion, nature, and the rejection of pure rationalism.
  
  
• Modern Times:
  The 20th century saw both advances in science and technology as well as pushback against rationalism in the form of postmodernism, which questions objectivity and absolute truth. Today, while we’re surrounded by information, there’s also a trend of misinformation, making reason and critical thinking crucial yet challenging to maintain. This pattern reflects the way societies navigate change. Rational inquiry and knowledge progress alongside resistance or critique, creating cycles in how societies perceive reason’s role in understanding the world.”

💙🇺🇸💔 Let us have a day to mourn. I’ll go back to drawing and preaching the word of bird soon enough because that’s how I try to bring joy and compassion in the world. That’s how I fight.

🦜🌳🔥“This page is about birds, not politics” climate change affects us all, especially the birds we adore.

My door is open to all, but you cause a ruckus with my buddies, you gotta go. This is a safe space.

I never cared about follower count, I appreciate my followers in the sense I care about connecting like minds and being a friend to those in need of one. So no, I’m fine if certain types of people unfollow.
