You can’t fix what you don’t know. One may not like reality but failure to understand it only leads to death and destruction. Science is the best tool we have to understand our reality. Moreover, science keeps us humble, something humans have extreme difficulty in doing. The South Carolina’s passage of a law not based on reality is a perfect example of the hubris of the human being. By the way, this is not criticism of those who did this. It is simply facing the reality of the self-centeredness of humans. Having in place mechanisms to hold that at bay as best as is possible is vital. Science is one of those mechanisms. Science MUST be the basis of the conversation. Updated maps are just up-to-date science.
