$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / ...Another writer again agreed with all \ | my generalities, but said that as an | | inveterate skeptic I have closed my | | mind to the truth. Most notably I have | | ignored the evidence for an Earth that | | is six thousand years old. Well, I | | haven't ignored it; I considered the | | purported evidence and *then* rejected | | it. There is a difference, and this is | | a difference, we might say, between | | prejudice and postjudice. Prejudice is | | making a judgment before you have | | looked at the facts. Postjudice is | | making a judgment afterwards. Prejudice | | is terrible, in the sense that you | | commit injustices and you make serious | | mistakes. Postjudice is not terrible. | | You can't be perfect of course; you may | | make mistakes also. But it is | | permissible to make a judgment after | | you have examined the evidence. In some | | circles it is even encouraged. | | | | -- Carl Sagan, The Burden of | | Skepticism, Skeptical Enquirer, Vol. | \ 12, pg. 46 / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
