“We've learned from experience that the truth will out. Other experimenters will repeat your experiment and find out whether you were wrong or right. Nature's phenomena will agree or they'll disagree with your theory. And, although you may gain some temporary fame and excitement, you will not gain a good reputation as a scientist if you haven't tried to be very careful in this kind of work. And it's this type of integrity, this kind of care not to fool yourself, that is missing to a large extent in much of the research in Cargo Cult Science.” IfsKindMayCareMissingHavensTheoryTypeFoolIntegrityFameResearchGainsScientistAgreeCarefulExperimentsReputationExcitementRepeatsTemporaryDisagreeCultCargoGood ReputationWrong Or RightTruth Will Come Out Author:Richard P.

“The visa thing can be an issue, if you're going to work for someone here make sure they will help you with this. However, so that you know what you need make sure you research the visa issue on your own. A 90 day visa is not a problem and I saw six month visas being offered through the Vietnamese Embassy in Cambodia, but nothing about one year visas or temporary residence cards.

“Too many scholars think of research as purely a cerebral pursuit. If we do nothing with the knowledge we gain, then we have wasted our study. Books can store information better than we can--what we we do that books cannot is interpret. So if one is not going to draw conclusions, then one might as well just leave the information in the texts.” IfsThinkingWellsBookMightStudyInformationDrawsResearchGainsStoresPursuitConclusionScholarCerebral Book:The Way of Kings Source: The Way of Kings
