Thanks, Eliezer, for an excellent article. Some of my favorite quotables:

  • the Quantitative Way

  • Everything is shades of gray, but there are shades of gray so light as to be very nearly white, and shades of gray so dark as to be very nearly black.

  • If science is a religion, it is the religion that heals the sick and reveals the secrets of the stars.

  • "Everyone is imperfect" is an excellent example of replacing a two-color view with a one-color view.
