James Randi: debunking the king of the debunkers

[librechik]

151. skepticism is the SCOURGE of civilization

Civilization BLOSSOMS with dreamers, inventors, and thinkers-outside-the-box.

Of course nonsense is not science. But science often sounds like nonsense before it becomes proven.

Imagine the smug 14th century derisive laughter at Galileo's clams. or Leeuwnhoek's.

Skepticism is worse that fascism. Except it's the same thing in a different guise.

However, every skeptic believes he is smarter than any dreamer alive, and has the authority to destroy them for that awful, harmful dreaming and inventing.

Sure Skeptics are in charge, they are the fascists, and they want to keep dreamers a marginalized class. And they will always win, since they are the pawns of authority.

I'll never convince you that isn't the "right" thing to do.

And you will never stop me from dreaming and thinking about impossible nonsense. I'm sure we feel very sorry for each other. You, stuck in your narrow conservative self righteous mindset, me in my expansive, cosmic, joyful universe of possibilities. That endless scary space between my ears must scare the hell out of you.
