Quotes by Paul Thagard (?)

“In conclusion, I would like to say why I think the question of what constitutes a pseudoscience is important. Unlike the logical positivists, I am not grinding an anti-metaphysical ax, and unlike Popper, I am not grinding an anti-Freudian or anti-Marxian one. My concern is social: society faces the twin problems of lack of public concern with the advancement of science, and lack of public concern with the important ethical issues now arising in science and technology ... One reason for this dual lack of concern is the wide popularity of pseudoscience and the occult among the general public. Elucidation of how science differs from pseudoscience is the philosophical side of an attempt to overcome public neglect of genuine science.”

“Disinformation is misinformation that is spread deliberately by people who know it is false. Disinformation consists of intentional lies, whereas misinformation can be unwittingly spread by people who actually believe it. Former president Barack Obama has described disinformation as “the single biggest threat to our democracy.”

“Perception is generally a good source of real information because it results from interactions between bodily senses and the world. But perception can go wrong in three different ways: mistakes, illusions, and hallucinations.”
