That says it all.
No need to go further, many contributors confess to not thinking.

.... ahahaha... true, but they have a more than compulsive
and self-convincing power tool at their disposal, than thinking:
Their unconditional faith & belief in their religion & education,
them swearing that their know and have the truth, scientifically.
Good or bad?... in the final analysis.. it probably doesn't matter.
But we can readily observe that humankind is run to 99% by
emotion alone... So much for the purity of empirical science.
ahahahaha... ahahanson

.... repudiating the sensible world, which he neither sees himself nor believes from those who have, the Peripatetic joins combat by childish quibbling in a world on paper, and denies the Sun shines because he himself is blind.
Johannes Kepler to Galileo Galilei, 28 March 1611

"I wish, my dear Kepler, that we could have a good laugh together at the extraordinary stupidity of the mob. What do you think of the foremost philosophers of this University? In spite of my oft-repeated efforts and invitations, they have refused, with the obstinacy of a glutted adder, to look at the planets or Moon or my telescope."

Ecclesiastes 1:9 What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

I am glad, my dear Hanson, that we have a good laugh together at the extraordinary stupidity of the mob. What do you think of the foremost philosophers of this newsgroup? In spite of my oft-repeated efforts and invitations, they have refused, with the obstinacy of a glutted adder, to look at the variable stars or novae with my telescope.

In the final analysis, you ask?

If there should chance to be any mathematicians who, ignorant in mathematics yet pretending to skill in that science, should dare, upon the authority of some passage of Scripture wrested to their purpose, to condemn and censure my hypothesis, I value them not, and scorn their inconsiderate judgement.
De Revolutionibus Coelestibus

Finally we shall place the Sun himself at the centre of the Universe. All this is suggested by the systematic procession of events and the harmony of the whole Universe, if only we face the facts, as they say, 'with both eyes open'. -- Copernicus


And yet it [the Earth] moves. -- Galileo Galilei, who KNEW.
In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.
Quoted in Arago, Eulogy of Galileo (1874)

I feign no hypotheses. -- Principia Mathematica. If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants. -- Newton, who KNEW.


Temporis filia veritas; cui me obstetricari non pudet.
Truth is the daughter of time; I do not repudiate being her obstetrician.-- Kepler, who KNEW.
Mensus eram coelos, nunc Terrae metior umbras.
Mens coelestis erat, corporis umbra jacet.

In the final analysis I shall join the giants. I have seen further than any of them,
I stood upon my lion's head.

Androcles - who KNOWS - and that is all that will ever matter to me.
