The Politicization of Science
Djiezes
by Djiezes  5-20-2007    2
 Great article! You'll need bugmenot to log in & read it. Apart from the fact that in reality decision-makers rarely are the wise, unbiased, and entirely objective people textbooks would have them be, this model fails to consider the real-world phenomenon of “an excess of objectivity.” “Excess of objectivity” is a term coined by Dan Sarewitz, professor of science and society at Arizona State University (ASU), who, in an interview for bridges, claims that “there is plenty of science to go around. You don’t really need to distort the science. All you need to do in many cases is find the right science. That is not an indictment of science or scientists, but a statement about the complexity of reality and nature and the difficulty of defining problems in very narrow ways.”

Ignorance as the basis of Science
Djiezes
by Djiezes  9-21-2006   
  As Pascal suggested, in our youth we are indoctrinated into traditional tribal beliefs, as various as the tribal gods are various. Many of us live out our lives in thrall to the traditions into which we are born. Others question their inheritance and embark upon a lifetime of learning. The former end up convinced they know everything. The latter end as they began, in ignorance -- but a self-professed ignorance that is sublime and glorious in its tenatively-held and ever-expanding wealth of knowledge.
