Gregory Bateson was born OTD in 1904. “Logic is a poor model of cause and effect.” “Epistemology is always and inevitably personal. The point of the probe is always in the heart of the explorer: What is my answer to the question of the nature of knowing?” 🦫🦋🧪🐋🌱 #PhilSci #HistSTM

Thomas H Huxley was born OTD in 1825. The idea of “warfare” between science and religion is suspect, but it works for H. Protestantism lacks “a trace of any desire to set reason free. The most that can be discovered is a proposal to change masters” from the Pope to the Bible. 🧪🌱🐋 #HistSTM #EvoBio
