“No encontré absolutamente nada y me convertí en escéptico.”
“Hay muchos astrólogos, videntes y clarividentes publicando anuncios en los periódicos, y no encuentro ni uno solo que pueda demostrar sus poderes… algo no cuadra”.
“La ciencia requiere evidencia.”
“Necesitamos divulgadores científicos, capaces de explicar qué es la ciencia con un lenguaje claro y sencillo.”
“Si no podemos conectar con el público de forma directa y sencilla, estamos fracasando.”
“Difundir el pensamiento crítico requiere una dosis de arte.”
“Creo que los eslóganes no sirven para nada, salvo para arrastrar masas hacia la ignorancia.”
“Pensar correctamente es una de las cosas más difíciles.”
“Lo difícil es anteponer el pensamiento crítico a la emoción. Es el gran desafío.”
“En general, todos aquellos que se abstienen de aplicar el pensamiento crítico, sea por ignorancia o por interés.”
