ency. Then a method was discovered for separating the ideas–which was to try one to see if it worked, and if it didn't work, to eliminate it.
This method became organized, of course, into science.
And it developed very well, so that we are now in the scientific age.
It is such a scientific age, in fact that we have difficulty in understanding
how witch doctors could ever have existed, when nothing that they
proposed ever really worked–or very little of it did.

IT's ALL a LIE. This is the thing about creativity that is rarely
acknowledged: Most people don’t actually like it. Studies confirm
what many creative people have suspected all along ...
People are biased against creative thinking, despite all of their
insistence otherwise.

in setting the ambitions of future engineers, and of literature in creating
future political aspirations. But most of all, we'll examine how we know
what we know: how does experience confirm or contradict ideas from
religious myths, and how to fringe phenomena like UFOs or the
Loch Ness Monster inform how we relate to other classes of
impossible-to-verify but culturally powerful ideas. How does the
scientific method differ from other ways of achieving truth, and
how do we map out the horizon of things which may be true, but are
true in ways which science cannot yet instrument or measure - for
example, the quality of artistic inspiration is a driving fact of life for
many people, but there is no scale or metric for it. Finally, the
overwhelming question of the day: how to make global warming
