Natural science, does not simply describe and explain nature; it is part of the interplay between nature and ourselves

My mind was formed by studying philosophy, Plato and that sort of thing.

An expert is someone who knows some of the worst mistakes that can be made in his subject and how to avoid them.

Many people will tell you that an expert is someone who knows a great deal about the subject. To this I would object that one can never know much about any subject. I would much prefer the following definition: an expert is someone who knows some of the worst mistakes that can be made in the subject, and how to avoid them.
