Quotes
- “By contrast with diamonds or asbestos or granite or the minerals we burn for fuel, the lowly agate is the victim of scientific disinterest, the same kinds of structured apathy I have elsewhere called 'the social construction of ignorance.' Agates seem to fall outside the orbit of geological knowledge, and therefore tend to be regarded — if at all — as geological accidents or oddities not really deserving systematic study.”
- “We live in a golden age of ignorance, and Trump and are part of that.”

- “In March 1937 the reported on the case of a farmer who had shot to death his sleeping son because the child was "mentally ill in a manner that threatened society"”
- “Nazi philosophers also commonly expressed concerns about cruelty toward animals. In early 1933, Nazi representatives in the Prussian parliament called for legislation banning vivisection.”
