You don't have to be unscientific to make beautiful art or to write beautiful things... science is not a body of knowledge or a belief system, it is just a term that describes humankind's incremental acquisition of understanding through observation. Science is awesome. The arts and sciences need to work together to improve how knowledge is communicated.” ThinkingNeedsWritingArtIdeasBodyTogetherBeautifulBeliefUnderstandingTermMistakeStupidPleaseObservationWorking TogetherHumankindOddsBeautiful ThingsAcquisitionBelief SystemsArt And ScienceBeautiful Art Author:Tim Minchin
“Stupid people like to delude themselves that while they may not be clever, they were at least able to compensate with feelings and insights denied to the intellectual....It was precisely this kind of false belief that made stupid people so stupid.

What was 'intelligence' after all, but the ability to read into things?” PeopleWorldKindMayMadeFeelingsAbleBeliefAbilityStupidIntellectualResourcesConnectionsInsightIntuitionCleverLeapDeniedStupid People Author:Stephen Fry
