for every expert there is an equal and opposite anti-expert.

Fools hate knowledge

For this latter notion we can thank those semi-scientists and self-appointed ‘experts’ who have simply failed to study the facts. Too many glib pontifications have been issued to the Faithful by those who should know better...to say, as their perpetrators say, that they cover all the cases on record is a flagrant untruth for which a Higher Justice may, or may not forgive them.

Knowledgeable persons are strangers because of the many ignorant people around them.

The problem with experts is that they do not know what they do not know.

These men are the enemies of science—of intellectual progress. They ridicule and calumniate the great thinkers. They deny everything that conflicts with the “sacred Scriptures.” They still believe in the astronomy of Joshua and the geology of Moses. They believe in the miracles of the past, and deny the demonstrations of the present. They are the foes of facts—the enemies of knowledge. A desire to be happy here, they regard as wicked and worldly—but a desire to be happy in another world, as virtuous and spiritual.

My principle activity is to tease those who take themselves and the quality of their knowledge too seriously.

Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

There are many who know many things, yet are lacking in wisdom.

This is the case with many learned persons; they have read themselves stupid.

We find very few people of good sense, except those who are of our own opinion.

My major hobby is teasing people who take themselves and the quality of their knowledge too seriously and those who don’t have the guts to sometimes say: I don’t know....

It is not so much that I have confidence in scientists being right, but that I have so much in nonscientists being wrong.

There is a certain category of fool—the overeducated, the academic, the journalist, the newspaper reader, the mechanistic "scientist", the pseudo-empiricist, those endowed with what I call "epistemic arrogance", this wonderful ability to discount what they did not see, the unobserved.
