“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Isaac Asimov

“Belief can be manipulated. Only knowledge is dangerous.”
― Frank Herbert

“This process of professionalising the obvious fosters a sense of mystery around science, and health advice, which is unnecessary and destructive. More than anything, more than the unnecessary ownership of the obvious, it is disempowering.”
― Ben Goldacre

“I spend a lot of time talking to people who disagree with me - I would go so far as to say that it's my favourite leisure activity,”
― Ben Goldacre, Bad Science
