Science

"The entire existence of the pharmaceutical industry is based on the presentation of false science, the promotion of this false science, and drilling it into the minds of gullible people who lack the curiosity to find out why this is so." Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj

"Today's vaccinations are based on the same flawed scientific experiments as the smallpox vaccination. Yet we are told that science has made progress. With a single scientific paper confirming the vaccination theory, my book "The Business of Fear" would have had to be permanently removed from the market." Dr. med. Gerhard Buchwald

"If medicines and vaccines were merely products of medical science, then dealing with them could also be a matter of science. But medicines are not scientific; they are sacred...." Dr. Robert S. Mendelsohn

"School is an institution built on the axiom that learning is the result of teaching. And institutional wisdom continues to accept this axiom, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary." Ivan Illich

"Once you have learned to ask questions - relevant and appropriate and substantial questions - you have learned how to learn and no one can keep you from learning whatever you want or need to know." Neil Postman

"Normal science does not aim at novelties of fact or theory and, when successful, finds none." Thomas Kuhn

"Science requires a society because even people who are trying to be good thinkers love their own thoughts and theories - much of the debugging has to be done by others." Alan Kay

"Every important idea in science sounds strange at first." Thomas Kuhn

"Far from being magisterial in its objectivity, science was conditioned by history, society, and the prejudices of scientists." Thomas Kuhn

"Normal science, the activity in which most scientists inevitably spend most all their time, is predicated on the assumption that the scientific community knows what the world is like. Normal science often suppresses fundamental novelties because they are necessarily subversive of its basic commitments." Thomas Kuhn

"In science novelty emerges only with difficulty, manifested by resistance, against a background provided by expectation." Thomas Kuhn

"The growth of knowledge depends entirely upon disagreement." Karl Popper

"Under normal conditions the research scientist is not an innovator but a solver of puzzles, and the puzzles upon which he concentrates are just those which he believes can be both stated and solved within the existing scientific tradition." Thomas Kuhn

"In so far as a scientific statement speaks about reality, it must be falsifiable; and in so far as it is not falsifiable, it does not speak about reality." Karl Popper
