One definition of science is the victory of evidence over intuition. Ten thousand years ago, stripped of science, all of us would’ve no doubt “intuited” that the sun revolved around the Earth, which, as any Homo sapiens of the time would tell you, was flat.

On summer mornings, released from the rigid social structure of junior high school, Shawnee and I would perch on the high bluffs overlooking the Minnesota River. Then we’d plunge into the river woodlands where we’d spend hours exploring, running, digging and tossing sticks into the river.
