AES24 A Healthy Dose of Skepticism

Better to accept the inconvenient truth than to embrace a comforting lie. A curious mind should always exercise caution. Always challenge your own beliefs, especially when you don’t want to. The world is a big place with infinite sources of knowledge, and not all of them are true. No one’s words sh…

AES23 Time

These are lyrics from Pink Floyd’s “Time” from their album “The Dark SIde of the Moon”.

When I heard the learn’d astronomer, When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me, When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them, When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured me with much applause in the lecture-room, How soon unaccountable I…
