Science Is The Business Of Generating Testable

The Fact That The Patients Were Complex Human Beings With A Rich Life Beyond The Hospital Never Really Sank Into The Consciousness Of The Residents. Because They Had No Rich Lives Beyond The Hospital, They Assumed No One Else Did, Either. In The End, What They Lacked Was Not Medical Knowledge But Ordinary Life Experience.

The Characteristic Human Trait Is Not Awareness But Conformity, And The Characteristic Result Is Religious Warfare.

A Hundred Years From Now, People Will Look Back On Us And Laugh. They'll Say, 'you Know What People Used To Believe? They Believed In Photons And Electrons. Can You Imagine Anything So Silly?' They'll Have A Good Laugh, Because By Then There Will Be Newer Better Fantasies... And Meanwhile, You Feel The Way The Boat Moves? That's The Sea. That's Real. You Smell The Salt In The Air? You Feel The Sunlight On Your Skin? That's All Real. Life Is Wonderful. It's A Gift To Be Alive, To See The Sun And Breathe The Air. And There Isn't Really Anything Else.

The Work Of Science Has Nothing Whatever To Do With Consensus. Consensus Is The Business Of Politics. Science, On The Contrary, Requires Only One Investigator Who Happens To Be Right, Which Means That He Or She Has Results That Are Verifiable By Reference To The Real World. In Science Consensus Is Irrelevant. What Is Relevant Is Reproducible Results. The Greatest Scientists In History Are Great Precisely Because They Broke With The Consensus.
