"No one comes back from the dead, no one has entered the world without crying; no one is asked when he wishes to enter life, nor when he wishes to leave." --Søren Kierkegaard
I enjoyed this Slate article, "The Paranoid Style in American Science," which discusses extremist skepticism and fear of uncertainty that leads to conspiratorial thinking. There's nothing wrong with scientific inquiry, and without doubt, we'd all have been marching in lockstep long ago. On the other hand, even the most well-meaning of us have agendas, even subconscious ones. It makes it really hard to sort out the information from the noise.
