Christopher Hitchens Quote: Why Evidence Is Essential
“What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.”
Christopher Hitchens
“What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.”
Christopher Hitchens
“The first bachelor generation is just climbing the university chairs. People who are perfectly trained in their craft, who have internalized the hegemonic ideology, and who are good advertising media for a system that needs academic confirmation in order to be able to continue to say ‘democracy’. This generation already determines what ‘good science’ is. It fills journals, conference programs, and so eventually textbooks, lectures, and seminars – with topics, perspectives, and terms it has taken from the political agenda and the tenders linked to it, and which it doesn’t question because it couldn’t learn that anywhere.”
Michael Meyen
“Science fiction like Star Trek is not only good fun but it also serves a serious purpose, that of expanding the human imagination.”
Stephen Hawking
“I will return to my forest to die in peace. The whole of science and all its appendages are just a bunch of thieves hanging like marionettes on strings and having to dance to whatever tune their well-hidden slave masters deem necessary.”
Viktor Schauberger
“They’ve been programmed and I’m sad because I know that it’s hard for people like that to take an interest – serious interest in world affairs – taken serious interest in what their elected officials are doing and they’re not going to be really inclined to study and or discover the deception that’s being used against them and so I’m sad because I I see all of that in the flash in my mind as being an indication of how easy it is for the masses to be manipulated”
G. Edward Griffin
“I am open to everything now. I’m open to things that I never thought I would have been open to. And I — I really think that the door fully came open. I’ve realized that everything in the — in the news is BS, everything. There’s nothing that I can consume on any legacy media that I can trust. And that is shocking. And that’s disturbing. And it makes you wonder how long it’s been going on for. And I’m concerned, it might have been a very long time.”
David Drew Pinsky
“One reason that freedom of speech is so important is that doubt is the foundation of science.”
Naval Ravikant
“We are not witnessing viral epidemics; we are witnessing epidemics of fear. And both the media and the pharmaceutical industry carry most of the responsibility for amplifying fears, fears that happen, incidentally, to always ignite fantastically profitable business. Research hypotheses covering these areas of virus research are practically never scientifically verified with appropriate controls. Instead, they are established by “consensus.” This is then rapidly reshaped into a dogma, efficiently perpetuated in a quasi-religious manner by the media, including ensuring that research funding is restricted to projects supporting the dogma, excluding research into alternative hypotheses. An important tool to keep dissenting voices out of the debate is censorship at various levels ranging from the popular media to scientific publications.”
Etienne de Harven
“The hard part was creating a flat map of the Earth’s surface with four months’ of satellite data. Reto Stockli, now at the Swiss Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology, did much of this work. Then we wrapped the flat map around a ball. My part was integrating the surface, clouds, and oceans to match people’s expectations of how Earth looks from space. That ball became the famous Blue Marble.”
