Quote of the day 30th August 2017

"This is what it’s like to live in a world run by those who have had enough of experts. Science and deep study have their flaws, and produce plenty of mistakes, but the process is ultimately self-correcting due to relentless inquisition and the discipline of open minds. The alternative, a society motored by ignorance, ideology and self-interest, is a dark prospect indeed."

(Chris Deerin, from an article criticising the Trump administration's hostility to the evidence on Climate Change in the Scottish Herald, here.)
