Actually, what is being taughy in universities todday
is that not everything can be demonstrated and tested
using empirical methods and that some objects of
intellectual interest are therefore outside the domain
of science. Science has therefore usurped some, but
not all, of the obsessions of the philosopher. That
is a bit different from what you said. It is a fact
and not a prejudice.

You have mentioned this "superstring" stuff several
times and said on one occasion that only "pariahs"
believe in it. Where does this come from? Do you
remember the source?
