Kim Stanley Robinson, voicing Frank Vanderwall in "Forty Signs of Rain" - Kim Stanley Robinson

This quote was added by jeremy_le_jyby
People plugging away in the same old ways, trying to do things according to the plan, even a flawed plan: normal science, in Kuhnian terms, as well as in the more ordinary sense. All so normal, so trusting that the system worked, when obviously the system was both rigged and broken. How could they persevere? How could they be so blinkered, so determined, so dense?
