Not only are facts and theories in constant disharmony, they are never as neatly separated as everyone makes them out to be.

Given any rule, however �fundamental� or �necessary� for science, there are always circumstances when it is advisable not only to ignore the rule, but to adopt its opposite.

Every profession has an ideology and a drive for power that goes far beyond its achievements and it is the task of democracy to keep this ideology and this drive under control. Science is here no different from other institutions.

Science is an essentially anarchic enterprise.

Human paint, produce films and videos; they dance, dream and make music; they engage in political action, exchange goods, perform rituals, build houses start wars, act in plays, try to please patrons- and so on... They contain patterns, press the practitioners to "conform" and in this way mold their thought, their perception, their actions, and their discriminative abilities.

Facts are constituted by older ideologies, and a clash between facts and theories may be proof of progress.

Not only are facts and theories in constant disharmony, they are never as neatly separated as everyone makes them out to be.
