Dead Thread (formerly 'Skeptical Quotes (for Jay)')
« on: June 16, 2009, 05:32:20 PM »
Surprisingly, I couldn't find a thread for us to post quote suggestions for Jay, so I'm starting one.

"Men go mad in hordes, but only come to their senses one by one."
Charles Mackay, 19th century Scottish journalist

ETA: I changed the thread title, so that people won't repeat my mistake (read Jay's response below).

If you are hoping it gets used on the show, probably best to send it to him via PM or through the contact us page on SGU.

I have a quote for Jay:

Quote
  "Going to debate at an event sponsored by the pseudoscience group is always a ridiculous waste of your time. You serve merely as a masturbation enabler for them. Next time, send them a stack of dirty magazines instead."
-- Brian Dunning

It comes from this podcast: http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4167, in which Brian argues that scientists should not debate pseudoscientists. I hope it provokes some discussion.

''The skeptic does not mean him who doubts, but him who investigates or researches, as opposed to him who asserts and thinks that he has found.''
-Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936), Spanish philosophical writer. "My Religion," Essays and Soliloquies (1924).
