Quote by Elizabeth Eisenstein

“Whether the sixteenth century astronomer confronted materials derived from the fourth century B.C. or freshly composed in the fourteenth century A.D., or whether he was more! receptive to scholastic or humanist currents of thoughts, seems of less significance in this particular connection than the fact that all manners of diverse materials were being seen in the course of one life time by one pair of eyes. For Copernicus as for Tycho, the result was heightened awareness and dissatisfaction with discrepancies in the inherent data”

“If you asked me if I'd rather spend my days chasing beasts and foraging berries or spend them in my air-conditioned apartment with Netfliex queued up and DoorDash delivery a button away, I don't have to tell you which I'd pick. But we know it's not our screens, our salaries, and our stuff that we'll be thinking about on our deathbeds. We know that what really matters in the grand scheme of life are the connections in our environments: the joy and meaning we experience, and the relationships we build.”

“The scientific project starts by rejecting the fantasy of infallibility and proceeding to construct an information network that takes error to be inescapable. Sure, there is much talk about the genius of Copernicus, Darwin, and Einstein, but none of them is considered faultless. They all made mistakes, and even the most celebrated scientific tracts are sure to contain errors and lacunae. Since even geniuses suffer from confirmation bias, you cannot trust them to correct their own errors. Science is a team effort, relying on institutional collaboration rather than on individual scientists or, say, a single infallible book. Of course, institutions too are prone to error. Scientific institutions are nevertheless different from religious institutions, inasmuch as they reward skepticism and innovation rather than conformity. Scientific institutions are also different from conspiracy theories, inasmuch as they reward self-skepticism. Conspiracy theorists tend to be extremely skeptical regarding the existing consensus, but when it comes to their own beliefs, they lose all their skepticism and fall prey to confirmation bias. The trademark of science is not merely skepticism but self-skepticism, and at the heart of every scientific institution we find a strong self-correcting mechanism. Scientific institutions do reach a broad consensus about the accuracy of certain theories—such as quantum mechanics or the theory of evolution—but only because these theories have managed to survive intense efforts to disprove them, launched not only by outsiders but by members of the institution itself.”

“And yet—this fascination with the future has generated its own antithesis, particularly in the so-called affluent or developed societies. There is a growing disenchantment with "progress" (however this may be defined) and even a feeling that, in many directions, we have already gone too far.”
