(Last month's started a little late, I thought I'd bring it back to its original schedule.)
A monthly thread for posting any interesting rationality-related quotes you've seen recently on the Internet, or had stored in your quotesfile for ages.
Please post all quotes separately (so that they can be voted up (or down) separately) unless they are strongly related/ordered.
Do not quote yourself (or your sockpuppets).
Do not quote comments/posts on LW/OB - if we do this, there should be a separate thread for it.
No more than 5 quotes per person per monthly thread, please.
No... it's just correct. Philosophy is very good at figuring out where we've gone wrong, or figuring out how to do things better next time. But in the present, philosophers are very good at getting fired and executed when they're against the authority. (cf Nazi Germany, or France when Aristotle went temporarily out of fashion in the Church)
