It's time for scientists to break out the steel-toed boots and brass knuckles, and get out there and hammer on the lunatics and idiots.

Empirical science is a method, and a good one, for discovery. However all that can be discovered should not be used. Were the Nazi "twin" experiments good science? How was it not science "in its pure form," simply divorced of human values?mahakalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08649042340743257076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32487323.post-6927334631971050432011-07-25T23:19:34.387-07:002011-07-25T23:19:34.387-07:00Bronowski was speaking to the reasons behind the m...Bronowski was speaking to the reasons behind the misuse of science. The reason Nazis decided to use Jews and undesirables as a scapegoat. The hatred of others where all things got warped. Science in its pure form is beautiful.
