Criss Jami
“Just because a supposed finding's hurled beneath the banner of 'science' does not mean it's of peak reliance, and in theory any layperson will tell you that obvious fact. It is in practice that the word itself, 'science', rings like a dinner bell for those hungry to expel religious dogmas.”
Criss Jami

“It is hard to see how scientific theories that don't correspond with reality and consequently don't work can benefit marginalized people, or anyone.”
Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay
