that everything boils down to subjective interests and perspectives is --
second only to American political campaigns -- the most prominent and
pernicious manifestation of anti-intellectualism in our time. --
Larry Laudan, Science and Relativism (1990)

Fortune Quote #2834
Again and again and in increasing measure [man] gets into danger of
overlooking the necessary irrationalities of his psyche, and of imagining
that he can control everything by will and reason alone, and thus paddle
his own canoe. This can be seen most clearly in the great socio-political
movements, such as Socialism and Communism: under the former the state
suffers, and under the latter, man. -- Carl Gustav Jung
