Malcom Muggeridge was also rather dubious about the benefits of education:
"Education, the great mumbo jumbo and fraud of the age purports to equip us to live and is prescribed as a universal remedy for everything from juvenile delinquency to premature senility."
When I read this a decade ago, I thought it absurd. Now I see it as a spot-on analysis.
Notice the (probably intentional) implication: If you, a non-scientist, disagree with a statement of fact made by a scientist, you are by definition wrong, *even if it later turns out that you were right*.
Some day I’m going to start a club with my friends and we’re going to discuss your substack articles. I love them. Even if I have to read them a few times to completely absorb!
