Ya wanna know the secret? Science is the art of speaking truthfully. It hasn’t got anything to with whether we talk about the physical world, or the world of human action, or any other discipline that operates by different rules of regularity. It’s just learning to speak truthfully – and that’s hard. That’s it. Nothing more than that.

Now ‘the truth’ is just a bit of ideological nonsense – the search for god. It’s meaningless. Searching for truth is like searching for god. A bit of verbal naivety. A child’s mythos.

Instead, we try to speak as truthfully as possible at whatever level of precision we are capable of currently speaking in any given field of inquiry. Our search is merely to find the most truthful expression we can craft short of a tautology.

Cool huh?
