Even for those who may have limited explicit early influences from ‘spiritual traditions’, there is a common pattern leading deep inquirers towards ‘spirituality’. This is a process of going towards the more mystical and height the means of the ‘rational’ (where rationality it used in its broader and deeper sense and implies much more than mere ‘cold calculation’).
I appreciate your response! We are of course all male and female, yin and yang, feminine and masculine. I suppose it depends on how you define “scientist”. There are many examples of women in professional fields that the current culture tends to ignore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Andreas-Salom%C3%A9
A reasonable question. Honestly, it was only because I was having trouble finding the quotes. Keep in mind that (through no fault of their own), women made up a relatively small percentage of the world's most famous scientists. This is obviously changing, but I also needed to find the right kind of quotes for what I was trying to convey here, and I couldn't find them. If you have any you could share, I'd be happy to amend the piece and include them.
Interesting to learn how mystical these scientists were. Dyson had it just right about the strangeness of things. Would have loved to see a quote by Charles Darwin too.

Why did you choose only men? Weird and lacking in an understanding of the world and its nature.
