Agnosiophobia » Quotes http://www.agnosiophobia.com The Irrational Fear of Not Knowing Wed, 05 Oct 2011 10:48:38 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Apropos http://www.agnosiophobia.com/2011/10/05/apropos/ http://www.agnosiophobia.com/2011/10/05/apropos/#comments Wed, 05 Oct 2011 10:48:38 +0000 Venture Free http://www.agnosiophobia.com/?p=1059 I found a quote that I think is perfectly apropos of this blog in general:

I have approximate answers and possible beliefs in different degrees of certainty about different things, but I’m not absolutely sure of anything, and of many things I don’t know anything about, but I don’t have to know an answer I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose which is the way it really is as far as I can tell possibly. It doesn’t frighten me. – Richard Feynman

In fact, I think an excerpt of that quote will become my new sub-title for this blog.

I’m taking the easy way out and posting a quote without a whole lot of commentary. So…um…here goes:

A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is guilty, until found effective. – Edward Teller
