There is a reward structure in science that is very interesting: Our highest honors go to those who disprove the findings of the most revered among us.

The truth which has made us free will in the end make us glad also. Every outcry against the oppression of some people by other people, or against what is morally hideous is the affirmation of the principle that a human being as such is not to be violated.

Teach nothing new, but instill into all men's breasts those things which the Fathers of revered memory have with harmony of statement taught...
