A student criticized scientific arrogance to Asimov: every generation is wrong, so our knowledge is as flawed as flat-Earth theory. Asimov disagreed: “When people thought the Earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the Earth was spherical, they were wrong, too. But if you think that thinking the Earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking it is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together.” #ScientificThought #KnowledgeEvolution #CriticalThinking
