Post Materialist Science



Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had....There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period. - Michael Crichton
