“I was shocked to find that there were actually climate scientists who wouldn't share the raw data, but would only share their conclusions in summary graphs that were used to prove their various theories about planet warming.

“In my profession more generally, it's not an exaggeration to say that masculinity is viewed as the root of all evil. If you were to take a literary theory course, you might think it would be about literature, but it's really not. It's about all the various forms of oppression on earth and how we can see them playing out in literary works. And behind all these forms of oppression is a guy.” IfsThinkingMightWould BeEarthFormGuyCoursesEvilLiteratureBehindsTheoryRootsVariousProfessionOppressionMasculinityExaggerationLiterary WorksLiterary Theory Author:Jonathan Gottschall
“Because those who hold conspiracy theories typically suffer from a crippled epistemology, in accordance with which it is rational to hold such theories, the best response consists in cognitive infiltration of extremist groups.

“A second possible approach to general systems theory is through the arrangement of theoretical systems and constructs in a hierarchy of complexity, roughly corresponding to the complexity of the "individuals" of the various empirical fields... leading towards a "system of systems."

“To be true to its constitutional role, the Supreme Court should refuse to be drawn into making public policy, and it should strike down legislation only when a clear constitutional violation exists. When judicial activists resort to various inventions and theories to impose their personal views on privacy and liberty, they jeopardize the legitimacy of the judiciary as an institution and undermine the role of the other branches of government.” ShouldGovernmentViewsLibertyRolesClearPolicyTheoryInstitutionsCourtVariousRefuseStrikesSupremeInventionBeing TrueBranchesPrivacyActivistLegislationSupreme CourtResortsViolationJudicialPublic PolicyJudiciaryLegitimacyJeopardizeBranches Of GovernmentPersonal Views Author:Mark Levin
“He [Aristotle] pointed out that people who had become initiates in the various mystery religions were not required to learn any facts 'but to experience certain emotions and to be put in a certain disposition.'

“Epistemology now flourishes with various complementary approaches. This includes formal epistemology, experimental philosophy, cognitive science and psychology, including relevant brain science, and other philosophical subfields, such as metaphysics, action theory, language, and mind. It is not as though all questions of armchair, traditional epistemology are already settled conclusively, with unanimity or even consensus. We still need to reason our way together to a better view of those issues.” WayNeedsMindStillsReasonPhilosophyActionTogetherLanguageViewsBrainIssuesPsychologyTheoryApproachPhilosophicalIncludingVariousTraditionalRelevantFormalMetaphysicsConsensusCognitiveEpistemologyCognitive ScienceComplementaryArmchairsUnanimityBrain Science Author:Ernest Sosa
“Evolutionary theory tends to explain quite well in retrospect how various species emerged. It's not very good on prediction. Nevertheless, one cannot say that there isn't a lot of knowledge that's been obtained in this field. In the same way, with these complex physical phenomena between solid state physics, you can say a lot of things without necessarily knowing the next step.” WayWellsStatesNextStepsKnowingFieldsTheorySpeciesComplexesVery GoodVariousPhysicsNeverthelessPredictionsNext StepsRetrospect Author:Kenneth Arrow
