«Dans une civilisation mourante, le prestige politique n’appartient pas au profond diagnosticien mais à l’habile charlatan.» (Eric Ambler, Le masque de Dimitrios, 1939)

A quotation from Eric Hoffer

When we believe ourselves in possession of the only truth, we are likely to be indifferent to common everyday truths. Self-deception, credulity, and charlatanism are somehow linked together.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 83 (1955)

"#Science is more than a body of #knowledge.
It's a way of thinking!

A way of skeptically interrogating the #universe with a fine understanding of human #fallibility.

If we are not able to ask skeptical questions to #interrogate those, who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in #authority, then we're up for grabs for the next #charlatan"
