We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology

And this is why we are doomed unless we throw down liberalism.

The cure for a fallacious argument is a better argument, not the supression of ideas.

Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep insights can be winnowed from deep nonsense.

A celibate clergy is an especially good idea, because it tends to suppress any hereditary propensity toward fanaticism.

But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

You have a misguided understanding of liberalism, it is an economic model, not something about more liberty. I agree with that poster but you gotta think a lot until you get to his point. The solution lies in some sort of modernised and modified socialism.

That's wrong you fucking moron. Liberalism has nothing to do with the economic model. It's focused on the rights and freedoms of the individual. The economic part is socialism or capitalism.

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
