uh I think the essence of the scientific
method is the willingness to to admit
you're wrong the willingness to abandon
ideas that don't work uh and the essence
of religion is not to change anything
that supposed truths are handed down by
some revered figure and then no one is
supposed to make any uh any progress
beyond that because all the truth is
thought to be in hand
[Music]
my sense is that the scientific way of
of thinking questioning uh some delicate
mix of creative encouragement of new
ideas and the most rigorous and
skeptical scrutiny of new and old ideas
I think that is the path to the Future
not just for science but for all human
institutions we have to be willing to
challenge because we are in desperate
need of change
