• Historically, very few discoveries were made out of thin air. Most of the greatest insights depended upon the intellectual ecology in which the scientists lived.

• Puede haber retórica sobre la naturaleza socialmente construida de la ciencia occidental, pero allí donde importa, no hay alternativa. No hay diseños específicamente hindúes o taoístas para teléfonos móviles, faxes o televisores. No hay satélites basados en alternativas feministas a la teoría cuántica. Incluso ese gran escéptico público sobre el valor de la ciencia, Prince Charles, nunca vuela un helicóptero quemando gasolina diluida homeopáticamente, es decir, agua con sólo una memoria de moléculas de bencina, mantenida por un horario derivado de la lectura de hojas de té, y navegada por una bola de cristal.

• La astrología es una superchería. Esta pseudociencia existe desde los tiempos de los caldeos y los babilonios. Es tan falsa como la numerología, la frenología, la quiromancia, la alquimia, la lectura de las hojas de té y la práctica de la adivinación por las entrañas de una cabra. Ninguna persona seria compraría la noción de que nuestras vidas están influenciadas individualmente por el movimiento de planetas distantes. Es la charlatanería de serrín de las ferias.
