Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information. It is a creative human activity, its geniuses acting more as artists than as information processors.

Storytelling is the essential human activity. The harder the situation, the more essential it is.

Incompetence is a better explanation than conspiracy in most human activity.

Architects create spaces that accommodate human activity.

When a pianist sits down and does a virtuoso performance he is in a technical sense transmitting more information to a machine than any other human activity involving machinery allows.

Science is an integral part of culture. It's not this foreign thing, done by an arcane priesthood. It's one of the glories of the human intellectual tradition.
