Philip G. Zimbardo
“learned helplessness.”1 (Learned helplessness is the experience of passive resignation and depression following recurring failure or punishment, especially when it seems arbitrary and not contingent upon one’s actions.)”
Philip G. Zimbardo, The Lucifer Effect: How Good People Turn Evil

“As citizens, as good citizens, we therefore think that we must have in mind while examining the question before us, the discovery and development of scientific talent, the needs of the whole national welfare. We could not suggest to you a program which would syphon into science and technology a disproportionately large share of the nation’s highest abilities, without doing harm to the nation, nor, indeed, without crippling science. . . . Science cannot live by and unto itself alone.” . . . -Vannevar Bush”
Vannevar Bush

Alan Sokal
“a crucial asymmetry: one can never prove that a theory is true, because it makes, in general, an infinite number of empirical predictions, of which only a finite subset can ever be tested; but one can nevertheless prove that a theory is false, because, to do that, a single (reliable) observation contradicting the theory suffices.65”
Alan Sokal, Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals' Abuse of Science

John Grisham
“society had the political gumption to change unfair laws, practices, and procedures, we could avoid virtually all wrongful convictions.”
John Grisham, Framed: Astonishing True Stories of Wrongful Convictions

“The choice of topics, the shaping of information, the basic assumptions, and so on fall within a fairly narrow spectrum which tends to be highly supportive of state and corporate power. -Noam Chomsky, about the Media:”
