We would be better off thinking of nature as a tiger than as a docile and compliant automaton that can never threaten our survival.

Change the instruments and you will change the entire social theory that goes with them

Science does not enter a chaotic society to put order into it anymore, to simplify its composition, and to put an end to controversies. It does enter it, but to add new uncertain ingredients... to all the other ingredients that make up the collective experiments. When scientists add their findings to the mix, they do not put an end to politics; they add new ingredients to the collective process.

India is a reservoir of alternative interpretations of what the global is, and these ways of viewing the world need to be exposed.

My interest is that there is a disconnect between the science and the size of the threat that people mention about nature, the planet and the climate, and the emotion that this triggers. So we are supposed to be extremely frightened people, but despite that we appear to sleep pretty well.

Reality is what resists.
