Re: Tom Levenson: Let's waste more money on science
Some quotes stored-together way-back: as seem to fit perzackly the (current-version in the perpetual Series) End-of-all-Sentient-Life situations (for another venue.)
Some of these may append well [??] to Boston Globe’s opus (penuriously near its PayWall blackout—like so many other place$ now—talk about hiding Every-one’s candle(s) under a bushel basket..) These, then:
"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." - Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
[cf. Boltzmann’s Atom amidst other stories re the inevitable “safe-science creates fewer waves” mindsets to be found]
"The extinction of the human race will come from its inability to EMOTIONALLY comprehend the exponential function." -- Edward Teller
"If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament." -- A Boston cabbie, to Gloria Steinem, in the 1970s [ref'd also in Zyklon B -- a pretty good excoriation also, to pussy-grabbers of all retarded ages.
"Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all." -- Hypatia of Alexandria, c.400
"Yes, the Democrats are corrupt and inept. But the other side is batshit insane." -- Digby
"Die Stimme der Vernuft ist leise." (The voice of reason is soft) -- T. Wu
"The modern conservative is engaged in one of mankind's oldest philosophical endeavors: the search for a moral justification for selfishness" -- adressad unbekannt
"I beseech you,... think it possible you may be mistaken." -- Cromwell/Bronowski
"Life isn't a battle between good and evil, it's a battle between signal and noise."
Guess we have to face also-too: an apparent factoid that, being able to employ the Scientific Method ..to some purpose ..and successfully? guarantees-Not that
a well-balanced mind/ a working Scale/Relativity metric? will accompany all practitioners
{Ex.: Shockley and his Race-assertions; he was OK on early transistors, but..}
Carrion..
(Do prepare for largest-yet helpings of that diet,) as all prepare to study assiduously a manual said to be nearing beta:
On the detection, perception of pseudo-profound Bull-shit in helpings never so huge as what …
Look! In the Road: A head.
