    If I didn't know any better, then I'd say it an childish attempt to take back what we've lost in an utmost unproductive form of grieving. But I do know better. So I won't say that.

I don't know better. I was just about to write that. Could you enlighten me about what I'm missing?

She made the point that guilt can lead to action, but is it productive action to bring back extinct species?

The rest of the article really meandered from placebos to determinism. Those topics are large controversial topics in themselves. Putting them together made the whole reading ambiguous.
