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.

Scientists are very much entangled in their culture and this culture is not pristine, untouched by other cultures and practices.

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

My kingdom for a more embodied body

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.

Be not the one who debunks but the one who assembles, not the one who lifts the rugs from under the feet of the naive believers but the one who offers arenas in which to gather.
