人们总是轻率地谈论科学。
什么是科学？人们从大学拿着
硕士学位或博士学位出来，
你把他们带到现场，他们、
他们实际上是什么都不信，
除非那是篇同行评议的论文。
那是他们唯一接受的东西。
然后你对他们说，我们来观察、
来思考、来讨论吧。
他们不这么做。他们只会说
：这是不是发表在同行评议
论文里？这就是他们眼中
的科学。我觉得这很可悲。
他们作为聪明的年轻人进
入大学，出来时却变得像脑子死
了一样，甚至都不知道科学是什
么意思。他们以为科学就是
同行评议论文之类的东西。
不，那是学术界。如果一篇论
文经过同行评议，这意味着所
有人都想法一样，
所以才会通过。一个意想不到的
后果是，当新的知识出现时，
新的科学见解，永远都不可
能经过同行评审。所以我们在阻
碍所有新的突破，那些在科学上
真正重大的进步。如果你看看科
学上的那些突破，它们几乎从来
不是出自这个行业的中心，
而是来自边缘。世界上最出
色的制蜡烛匠人，
都想不到电灯。它们不是从内部
产生的，它们往往来自体
制之外。我们会因为自己的愚
蠢而把自己毁掉。

Original transcript (English)
People talk glibly about science. What is science? People coming out of a university with a master's degree or a PhD, you take them into the field and they, they literally don't believe anything unless it is a peer-reviewed paper. It's the only thing they accept.
And you say to them, but let's observe, let's think, let's discuss. They don't do it. It's just, is it in a peer-reviewed paper or not? That's their view of science. I think it's pathetic.
Gone into universities as bright young people, they come out of them brain dead, not even knowing what science means. They think it means peer-reviewed papers, etc. No, that's academia.
And if a paper is peer-reviewed, it means everybody thought the same, therefore they approved it. that when new knowledge emerges, new scientific insights, they can never ever be peer-reviewed.
So we're blocking all new advances in science that are big advances. If you look at the breakthroughs in science, almost always they don't come from the center of that profession, they come from the fringe.
The finest candle makers in the world couldn't even think of electric lights. they often come from outside the bricks. We're going to kill ourselves because of stupidity.
