“I think it's very important to distinguish between objectivity - which tends to be open, flexible, skeptical of its own certainty and open to new information - and objectivism - which thinks, "No, we know it all, we've got it, so real thinking and learning can come to an end."” ThinkingKnowsImportantRealEndsInformationCertaintyFlexibleSkepticalObjectivityKnow It AllObjectivismNew Information Author:W.

“Objectivism is basically the same thing as faith-based science or for that matter faith-based foreign policy, where you start out with the assumption "We are good, they are evil," or "We know what is good and right and we know what is wrong," so all questions are settled in advance by a set of ideological prejudices.” KnowsMatterEvilPolicyPrejudiceAssumptionForeign PolicyIdeologicalObjectivismFaith Based Author:W.
