" - - - if you say you don’t know anything about
music, or hate art, or despise reading, you are an uncultured
ignoramus. However, it is perfectly fine (or even a badge of honour) to
say you know nothing about science or math, or that “you hate science”.
Yet science, which is so pervasive in every aspect of our society,
should be something that is enjoyed, appreciated and celebrated every
bit as much as art and culture."
There have been many clashes of civilisation over the centuries, over which the fate of humanity hung. Perhaps the biggest one that remains is that between science and pseudoscience.
