Jon Ronson Quotes
I think if somebody is so set in their ways about what they feel about something - and you get this a lot in academia, of course, and also different sorts of journalism too - you're going to sweep under the carpet the facts that don't suit your thesis. And I think that happens quite a lot in the courtroom, for instance.

Roughly, science is the mode of cognition of industrial society, and industry is the ecology of science.
