Thinking
Operations of thought are like cavalry charges in a battle — they are strictly limited in number, require fresh horses, and must only be made at decisive moments.
—Whitehead
We argue in bad faith because we have forgotten what convinced us or are embarrassed by it.
There is an absence of evidence that absence of evidence is evidence of absence.
All sources are biased, all evidence is tainted, and all consciousness is bourgeois.
“You are evil” — all lower-class arguments take this form. “You are stupid” is the higher class.
We call mad the man with one fixed idea, and sane the man with none.
Man begins by treating objects as agents; then he grows scientific, and treats agents as objects.
All statistical arguments are in bad faith.
To discover the most appalling ignorance of science one need only canvass its most vociferous defenders.
Free thinking, and worth every penny.
