The Nature of Science and
Pseudoscience
The known is
finite, the
unknown
infinite; intellectually we stand on an islet in the midst of an
illimitable
ocean of inexplicability.
Our business
in every
generation
is to reclaim a little more land.
- T.H. Huxley,
1887
All our
science, measured
against
reality, is primitive and childlike - and yet it is the most precious
thing
we have.
- Albert
Einstein
(1879-1955)
If
you keep your mind sufficiently open, people will throw a lot of
rubbish
into it.

Psychics
You are told, by
astrologers,
psychics and other such "experts", that you are not the capable,
responsible
and rather remarkable person that you really are. We belong to a
species
that has reached out a quarter of a million miles to set foot on the
moon,
and if that is not miracle enough for us all, I despair for our sense
of
wonder. The modern soothsayers suggest that you stop thinking for
yourselves.
They ask you to retreat to the caves from which our ancestors are said
to have come, while you have the choice of going to the stars. I have
opted
for the stars, and I invite you to join me.

William
James used to preach the "will to believe." For my part, I should wish
to preach the "will to doubt."....
What
is
wanted is not the will to believe, but the wish to find out, which is
the
exact opposite.

It
is morally as bad not to care whether a thing is true or not, so long
as
it makes you feel good,
as
it
is not to care how you got your money as long as you have got it.
