   “It was claimed” is suitably cautious. I’d not be surprised if this were true, however. The rest of the article ought to disturb people’s complacency, too, but I’m not sure it will.

   Kruse himself is *one partial source*, not the centre. His recommended reading is high-leverage because he points at primary sources others miss. Pull: Kruse blog index for "recommended reading" + interview transcripts where he names books.

   As I have absolutely nothing to advance against these reproaches, I only hope for some small thanks from such readers for having warned them in time, so that they may not lose an hour over a book which it would be useless to read without complying with the demands that have been made, and which should therefore be left alone, particularly as apart from this we might wager a great deal that it can say nothing to them, but rather that it will always be only _pancorum hominum_, and must therefore quietly and modestly wait for the few whose unusual mode of thought may find it enjoyable. For apart …

   Uh they don't fit the evidence and and and their views are not taken seriously because of what what you suggested. >> So for me that was a turning point in my life. I I I realized that it it doesn't really matter how distinguished you are. If your idea makes no sense, it makes no sense. >> So Jerry, although today's main topic is the fourth phase of water, it would be an injustice not to speak about your brand new book that's just out, charged, but in fact, it's actually great context for the fourth phase water phenomenon, which is caused by electrical charge. So Jerry, it's an ele…

   WHEN, forty years ago, I first expressed the ideas explained in this book, they found small sympathy, and indeed were often contradicted. Only a few friends, especially Josef Popper the engineer, were actively interested in these thoughts and encouraged the author. When, two years later, Kirchhoff published his well-known and often- quoted dictum, which even to-day is hardly correctly interpreted by the majority of physicists, people liked to think that the author of the present work had misunderstood Kirchhoff. I must decline with thanks this, as it were, prophetical misunderstand ing as not …

   and he sold them a real bill of goods that string theory was the final theory of everything and that once we understood string theory not physics we would see quote the mind of God that's the last three letter words of his book to the extent that anyone's ever read or understood it he took for granted that things like inflation took place we have no proof of that he did a lot of things tricks he called them well you just make time an imaginary number it's just a trick don't worry about it and then the rest of the book is about the hawking hardle theorem right so which is complete mathematicall…

   What I here make public has, after a long and scrupulous inquiry, seemed to me evidently true and not unuseful to be known--particularly to those who are tainted with Scepticism, or want a demonstration of the existence and immateriality of God, or the natural immortality of the soul. Whether it be so or no I am content the reader should impartially examine; since I do not think myself any farther concerned for the success of what I have written than as it is agreeable to truth. But, to the end this may not suffer, I make it my request that the reader suspend his judgment till he has once at l…

   He's not a physicist. Uh we talked about culture. No, I know with you, too. But you are a man of many opinions. And so I want to talk I will come back on the Into the Impossible podcast if it's now. Yes. No, but I'll come back next week if you like to talk about other things. I'm happy to drive down. I just drove down from LA to talk about dark energy and I want to talk about dark energy. I think I'm tired of doing physics this way. If I'm going to say something like here is the formula for the dark energy. I don't think I want to talk about is Lenny Suskin losing his hair. All right. Well, in…

   A new edition, for example, of Professor Jebb's _Introduction to Homer_ was published some six weeks after the first and more important of my letters to the _Athenœum_ had appeared. It was advertised as "this day" in the _Athenœum_ of March 12, 1892; so that if Professor Jebb had wished to say anything against what had appeared in the _Athenœum_, he had ample time to do so by way of postscript. I know very well what I should have thought it incumbent upon me to do had I been in his place, and found his silence more eloquent on my behalf than any words would have been which he is at all likely …

    I will continue calmly concerning persons with strong nerves who do not understand a certain refinement of enjoyment. Though in certain circumstances these gentlemen bellow their loudest like bulls, though this, let us suppose, does them the greatest credit, yet, as I have said already, confronted with the impossible they subside at once. The impossible means the stone wall! What stone wall? Why, of course, the laws of nature, the deductions of natural science, mathematics. As soon as they prove to you, for instance, that you are descended from a monkey, then it is no use scowling, accept it f…
