Are there Limits to Inquiry?
Should faculty be restrained from or even punished for investigating complex and controversial events of enormous political significance?

edited a series of books that investigate the moon landing hoax, the

Reblogged this on Today,s Thought.
Apparently there is no evidence linking Voltaire to the quote given above: “To learn who rules over you …”
This seems to be the consensus of opinions turned up by Google. If someone has reason to think otherwise, let me know.
Don’t know about the other one, but my favorite Voltaire quote:
“History is a collection of agreed upon lies.”
Great work, gentlemen! Thank you for bucking the trend and actually caring about something dangerous. These dangerous ideas are the only ones really worth pursuing.
