Sam Harris Quotes About Certainty

• El núcleo de la ciencia no es un modelo matemático, sino la honestidad intelectual. Es la voluntad de que nuestras certezas sobre el mundo se vean limitadas por buenas pruebas y buenos argumentos.

  Sam Harris

  Honestidad, Intelectual, Mundo

• All I'm arguing for really is that we should have a conversation where the best ideas really thrive, where there's no taboo against criticizing bad ideas, and where everyone who shows up, in order to get their ideas entertained, has to meet some obvious burdens of intellectual rigor and self-criticism and honesty-and when people fail to do that, we are free to stop listening to them. What religion has had up until this moment is a different set of rules that apply only to it, which is you have to respect my religious certainty even though I'm telling you I arrived at it irrationally.

  Sam Harris

  Religious, Honesty, Self

• Las personas que albergan fuertes convicciones sin pruebas pertenecen a los márgenes de nuestras sociedades, no a nuestros salones del poder. Lo único que debemos respetar en la fe de una persona es su deseo de una vida mejor en este mundo; nunca hemos debido respetar su certeza de que le espera una en el otro.

• It's not so much religion per se, it's false certainty that worries me, and religion just has more than its fair share of false certainty or dogmatism. I'm really concerned when I see people pretending to know things they clearly cannot know.
