I'm not driven by being understood.

Science consistently produces a new crop of miraculous truths and dazzling devices every year.

We are the recipients of scientific method. We can each be a creative and active part of it if we so desire.

I'm not politically correct.

Science, like nothing else among the institutions of mankind, grows like a weed every year. Art is subject to arbitrary fashion, religion is inwardly focused and driven only to sustain itself, law shuttles between freeing us and enslaving us.

Sometimes in the morning, when it's a good surf, I go out there, and I don't feel like it's a bad world.

Science has not been successful by making up explanations of things that fit with the current social fabric.
