Many of the traditional problems of philosophy, of religion, or of ethics, are of this character. Consider, for example, the problem of the freedom of the will. You maintain that you are free to take either the right- or the left-hand fork in the road. I defy you to set up a single objective criterion by which you can prove after you have made the turn that you might have made the other. The problem has no meaning in the sphere of objective activity; it only relates to my personal subjective feelings while making the decision.","author":"Percy Williams Bridgman","tags":["decisions","determinism","ethics","experiment","falsifiability","falsifiable","feelings","free-will","meaning","nobel-laureate","objective","philosophy","proof","questions","religion","science","scientific","subjective"],"id":7513,"author_id":"Percy+Williams+Bridgman"},{"text":"Science can't prove everything!

Every Sunday its praises are sounded from myriads of pulpits. It enjoys the prestige of an ancient establishment and the comprehensive support of the State. It has the ear of rulers and the control of education. Every generation is suborned in its favor. Those who dissent from it are losers, those who oppose it are ostracised; while in the past, for century after century, it has replied to criticism with imprisonment, and to scepticism with the dungeon and the stake. By such means it has induced a general tendency to allow its pretensions without inquiry and its beneficence without proof.","author":"Joseph Mazzini Wheeler","tags":["brainwashing","christianity","control","doubt","education","fear","inquiry","power","proof","religion","scepticism"],"id":17772,"author_id":"Joseph+Mazzini+Wheeler"},{"text":"You were created a hero and born to prove it.
