The Laws of Nature

"what passes for "science" in our institutions (as also in the proposed Law) is no more than a technical manipulation based on a mixture of now-antiquated principles and the abuse of natural reproductive properties of living beings. Nevertheless, this technical practice, which is now more politics than science, is defended and protected in the same manner as other dogmatic practices have historically been protected when insecure of their legitimacy within society: any source of opposition to the dogma is swiftly and brutally silenced with the strongest of punishments which our distinguished academic institutions arrogate to themselves." Ignacio Chapela
