“Muddleheadedness has always been the sovereign force in human affairs—a force far more potent than malevolence or nobility. It lubricates our hurtful impulses and ties our best intentions in knots. It blunts our wisdom, misdirects our compassion, clouds whatever insights into the human condition we manage to acquire. It is the chief artisan of the unintended consequences that constitute human history.”
Paul R. Gross, Higher Superstition: The Academic Left and Its Quarrels with Science: The Academic Left and Its Quarrels with Science

“Feminism, which is supposedly for everybody, apparently has no place for conservative women. Why would feminists need to exclude entire swaths of the population?

“Has society really become quite thin-skinned, or is acting “offended” a new tactic that is being used to shut down legitimate political debate?

Karl Popper
“As indicated by our example, methodological nominalism is nowadays fairly generally accepted in the natural sciences. The problems of the social sciences, on the other hand, are still for the most part treated by essentialist methods. This is, in my opinion, one of the main reasons for their backwardness.”
Karl Popper, The Open Society and Its Enemies
