[escepticos] La galleta de la suerte del día

["Victor R. Ruiz" <rvr@...>]

  Hola:

  Esto decía la "galleta de la suerte" (/usr/bin/fortune) del Linux...

  "I believe that part of what propels science is the thirst for wonder.
It's a very powerful emotion.  All children feel it.  In a first grade
classroom everybody feels it; in a twelfth grade classroom almost nobody
feels it, or at least acknowledges it.  Something happens between first and
twelfth grade, and it's not just puberty.  Not only do the schools and the
media not teach much skepticism, there is also little encouragement of this
stirring sense of wonder.  Science and pseudoscience both arouse that
feeling.  Poor popularizations of science establish an ecological niche for
pseudoscience".
