“To the scientists of the Renaissance, your critic was really your ally, helping you advance upon reality. Critics in science are not like drama critics, determining flops and successes. Criticism to scientists is just another means of finding out whether they're wrong, like running another experiment to see if it confirms or refutes a theory. Along with the advocacy principle of the courtroom, It is one of the best ways human beings have evolved to get closer to the truth.” IfsWayHumansMeanHelpingRealityRunningHuman BeingsPrinciplesTheoryDramaFindingsCriticismScientistCriticsExperimentsBest WayOpennessAlliesRenaissanceAdvocacyCourtroom Author:Martin Seligman

“How ignorant we are! How ignorant everyone is! We can cut across only a small area of the appallingly expanding fields of knowledge. No human being can know more than a tiny fraction of the whole. It must have been satisfactory in ancient times when one's own land seemed to be the universe; when research studies, pamphlets, books did not issue in endless flow; when laboratories and scientists were not so rapidly pushing back frontiers of knowledge that the process of unlearning the old left you gasping for breath.” KnowsHumansHas BeensBookWholeUniverseLeftProcessHuman BeingsKnowledgeStudyIssuesCuttingLandFieldsResearchAreasFlowScientistBreathsAncientTinyEndlessIgnorantPushingExpandingFrontiersLaboratoryFractionsAncient TimesPushing BackResearch Study Author:Mary Barnett Gilson

“It's absurd and quite tragic the way people have managed to pit science against faith. They aren't in conflict at all - they're long lost dance partners. I don't divide the world up into Christians and other people - we are all human beings, brothers and sisters, and we embrace truth wherever we find it, whether that's in a lab, a field or a cathedral.

“I always say that, like a scientist or anyone, you always want to be the problem-solver. You feel like, if you solve the greatest mystery or the greatest problem, then that makes you brilliant.

“My Third-World roots remind me that the vast majority of our fellow human beings live hungry, sick, and uneducated, and that most social scientists, even in that world, ignore that ugly reality.
