She is on my list. I have others. I do not see the preponderance of
white males as any plot. However, I do contend that like thinking has
driven us in particular ways. Evolution of idea and society will tend
to take the easiest route... (Probably a more elegant way of saying
that.)

I remain hopeful that as we continue to explore the mysteries of the
physical world, we will start to see more wholeness. Part of my
objection to *dead white guys* has to do with the disjointed
incrementalism of western thought.
