Francis Bacon Invents Science



Francis Bacon: "Everyone, hey everyone, listen up. I have this great new idea that will totally revolutionize the world. " Francis Bacon: "We must dismiss all prejudices and preconceptions and collect facts by observing the natural world." Person in crowd: "Sounds stupid." Francis Bacon: "Sounds not stupid!" Person: "Why don't we just find the truth by thinking about things really hard? " Francis Bacon: "Because! It's far better to set up theories and then observe the actual world to see if theory matches up with prediction." Francis Bacon: "But how do you know it's better?" Francis Bacon thinks about it, then replies angrily: "I thought about it really hard, okay!"
"Wait no, I'm changing my answer, I *empirically observed* how stupid other people's ideas were."
