Thanks, Jason. I've wanted to write about this for a long time but the task seemed to daunting. I'm alone for a few weeks while my wife and daughter are traveling together so I decided now was the time.
Art, thanks for your thoughts on the heart of science, “a disciplined form of wonder”, indeed.
I so pleased to have found your SubStack. I’ve been one of your students thanks to your generous interviews on Decouple and The Great Simplification.
I would add to your thoughts on humility and mention a couple of scientists here on SubStack who paid a price for insisting that uncertainty be communicated to the public. Roger Peilke and Judith Curry were driven from their academic positions by Stalinist enforcers of consensus.
Science has become another tool of political ideology.
Thanks again for standing up for the deep philosophical soul of scientific inquiry.
Wow. Incredibly insightful. Thanks to you and those who informed/inspired your thoughts in that piece. That's a message that needs to be spread far and wide, and hopefully, taken to heart.
