“If it were possible to transfer the methods of physical or of biological science directly to the study of man, the transfer would long ago have been made ... We have failed not for lack of hypotheses which equate man with the rest of the universe, but for lack of a hypothesis (short of animism) which provides for the peculiar divergence of man ... Let me now state my belief that the peculiar factor in man which forbids our explaining his actions upon the ordinary plane of biology is a highly specialized and unstable biological complex, and that this factor is none other than language.” IfsMenLongHas BeensMadeStatesActionUniverseBeliefLanguageStudyOrdinaryLet MeMethodComplexesFactorsPlanesBiologyPeculiarLong AgoHypothesisExplainingTransfersUnstableDivergenceAnimismBiological Science Author:Leonard Bloomfield
“Skeptics, who flatly deny the existence of any unexplained phenomenon in the name of 'rationalism,' are among the primary contributors to the rejection of science by the public. People are not stupid and they know very well when they have seen something out of the ordinary. When a so-called expert tells them the object must have been the moon or a mirage, he is really teaching the public that science is impotent or unwilling to pursue the study of the unknown.” PeopleKnowsWellsHas BeensNamesExistenceStudyTeachingStupidObjectsMoonOrdinaryDenyPursuePrimariesExpertsRejectionPhenomenonUfoUnwillingSkepticRationalismMiragesNot StupidContributorsUnexplained Author:Jacques Vallee
