Quote of the Day: 29 April 2024 #QotD

“Now I dread specialists in power because they are specialists speaking outside their special subjects. Let scientists tell us about sciences. But government involves questions about the good for man, and justice, and what things are worth having at what price; and on these a scientific training gives a man’s opinion no added value.” -C. S. Lewis

[There is a particular hubris that arises from a learned man trusting to his learning. Because he is knowledgeable in one area he begins to think he is able to speak on any subject with authority.]
