"So I have just one wish for you--the good luck to be somewhere
where you are free to maintain the kind of integrity I have
described, and where you do not feel forced by a need to maintain
your position in the organization, or financial support, or so on,
to lose your integrity. May you have that freedom."
The above is the concluding paragraph of Feynman talking about cargo cult science.
In 1996, when I first read this, it set me on fire, ready to go tilting at windmills.
Now, I chanced upon it again, and it reminds me of still how relevant those words are, and how far astray flows the stream of life from it
