"Depression is sadness gone wrong"
"I would teach the world that science is the best way to understand the world and that for any set of observations, there is only one correct explanation. Also, science is value-free, as it explains the world as it is. Ethical issues arise only when science is applied to technology - from medicine to industry."
"I strongly hold that, if an idea fits with common sense, then scientifically it is almost certain to be false."
"There is zero evidence for god."
"Reliable scientific knowledge is value free and has no moral or ethical value. Science tells us how the world is. ... Dangers and ethical issue arise only when science is applied as technology."
