$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / If science were explained to the \ | average person in a way that is | | accessible and exciting, there would be | | no room for pseudoscience. But there is | | a kind of Gresham's Law by which in | | popular culture the bad science drives | | out the good. And for this I think we | | have to blame, first, the scientific | | community ourselves for not doing a | | better job of popularizing science, and | | second, the media, which are in this | | respect almost uniformly dreadful. | | Every newspaper in America has a daily | | astrology column. How many have even a | | weekly astronomy column? And I believe | | it is also the fault of the educational | | system. We do not teach how to think. | | This is a very serious failure that may | | even, in a world rigged with 60,000 | | nuclear weapons, compromise the human | | future. | | | | -- Carl Sagan, The Burden Of | | Skepticism, The Skeptical Inquirer, | \ Vol. 12, Fall 87 / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
