The Sciences Of Today Are Business Enterprises Run On Business Principles. Research In Large Institutes Is Not Guided By Truth And Reason But By The Most Rewarding Fashion, And The Great Minds Of Today Increasingly Turn To Where The Money Is - Which Means Military Matters.

Science Is Much Closer To Myth Than A Scientific Philosophy Is Prepared To Admit. It Is One Of The Many Forms Of Thought That Have Been Developed By Man, And Not Necessarily The Best.
