Found this articulating a fear I've never been able to put my finger on:
"if we allow science to become just another tribe, we will be asking people to choose between their loved ones and abstract principles"
"asking them to pay an almost unimaginable price."

After setting up the required infrastructure on CRAN with several packages providing static libraries, I finally have some new #rayverse features on the way! Shown here: dynamic sky generation for a given lat/long and time of day, based on the Hosek-Wilkie radiance model.
