It's a very interesting defense mechanism and the only way to get by it -- and believe me, I was raised Southern Baptist -- is to take massive amounts of mushrooms, sit in a field, and just go, "Show me.".” WayBelieveMatterFactsShowsBeliefInterestingChristianityFieldsAmountBuiltArgumentRaisedDefenseSatanLogicalMassiveSouthernMechanismBelieve In MeShow MeVery InterestingBaptistsMushroomsDefense MechanismsSouthern Baptist Author:Bill Hicks

“I was a lousy academic. I spent most of my time in the cafeteria. But I met fantastic people from all kinds of fields; law, medicine, history, and they eventually dispersed all over the world to do their fieldwork.

“I don't think that anything of any consequence is known a priori: all our knowledge is built up by modifying the lore passed on to us by our ancestors in light of our experiences, and the best a philosopher can do is to learn as much about what has been discovered in various empirical fields, and use it to try to craft an improved synthesis.” ThinkingTryingHas BeensUseLightCan DoKnownFieldsConsequenceBuiltPhilosopherVariousCraftsAncestorSynthesisModifying Author:Philip Kitcher
