Pseudo

Martin Heidegger Philosopher

"Nevertheless, the ultimate business of philosophy is to preserve the force of the most elemental words in which Dasein expresses itself, and to keep the common understanding from levelling them off to that unintelligibility which functions in turn as a source of pseudo-problems."

Nassim Nicholas Taleb Author, Statistician

"You get pseudo-order when you seek order; you only get a measure of order and control when you embrace randomness."

Ludwig Wittgenstein Philosopher

"Freud's fanciful pseudo-explanations (precisely because they are brilliant) perform a disservice. Now any ass has these pictures available to use in "explaining" symptoms of an illness."

Nassim Nicholas Taleb Author, Statistician

"There is a certain category of fool-the overeducated, the academic, the journalist, the newspaper reader, the mechanistic scientist, the pseudo-empiricist, those endowed with what I call epistemic arrogance, this wonderful ability to discount what they did not see, the unobserved."
