ON THE DANGEROUS (?) NAIVETE OF UNCRITICAL ACCEPTANCE OF SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS |
|
Posted 4 January 2012
When unanimity of opinion is forged among the most learned men
across various bodies of knowledge, such agreement must be protected
against the threat of violent upheaval by one careless agent with only
the most meager qualifications. A broad base of common agreement is
necessary for the progress of scientific knowledge which alone carries
the hope of civilization, thus it is no exaggeration to say that our
very survival is at stake. It is imperative that we voice our united
opposition to this threat to the common good posed by the irresponsible
propagation of that one man’s abominable theories. - An important post by Judith Curry
