Am not sure what it all means. But I could be wrong. (grinning)

Science. Heard once that the word science comes from the idea of signs.
That when we take in signs, it is science or signs-in.

It seems today, that most of society doesn't care to take in the signs other people are showing?

Of course, the signs that most of see from other people are brake lights flashing red on the car in front of us. Which means "don't touch me!" Maybe that's what's wrong?
